" LIVE WELL" Healthy tip of the week

We hope you will find the site both fun and informative and, once you have considered how important it is to you, that you will take the time to think about what it must be like to live without clean and plentiful water, as many of the world's poorest do.
Clean water is essential for life and something most of us take for granted. But over a billion people in the world do not have access to it and find it impossible, because of this, to escape the downward spiral of poverty and disease

"The LIVE WELL" campaign brings home the message that we can and should take responsibility for our own health by increasing the amount of water we drink and so and so. With such good access to clean water nothing could be simpler.
