PHA launches Drink Up to encourage water consumption
Michelle Obama, beverage-makers join PHA to support cause
First lady Michelle Obama and actress, director and producer Eva Longoria joined Washington, D.C.-based Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), of which Obama is honorary chair, to launch an initiative that encourages everyone to drink more water.
“Since we started the Let’s Move! initiative, I’ve been looking for as many ways as possible to help families and kids lead healthier lives,” Obama said in a statement. “I’ve come to realize that if we were going to take just one step to make ourselves and our families healthier, probably the single best thing we could do is to simply drink more water. That’s it — it’s really that simple. Drink just one more glass of water a day, and you can make a real difference for your health, your energy and the way you feel. So Drink Up and see for yourself.”
