The U.S. Government has issued a health alert regarding the swine flu today, stating the virus has the potential to become a pandemic. I encourage all of you to go to http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/swineflu_you.htm and find out more about this virus.
There are so many things you can do to help prevent the spread of viruses, such as frequent hand-washing, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and not drinking after others. The most difficult places to do this are public places. When we are drinking the same kinds of drinks we are usually in a public setting (office, gym, party). It is so easy to set your drink on a table, walk away for a minute, and when you get back, you have forgotten which drink was yours. But by simply having your aquaBling clipped onto your purse, gym bag, or other item, you can drastically reduce your chances of becoming ill.
Although we don't think about the flu as being deadly, hundreds of people die each year from the flu. To think that something as simple as knowing which bottle is yours can possibly prevent death, hospitalization, or even missing a few days of work...it just makes sense.
Here's to your health!
