Michelle Obama's focus as First Lady has always been children and families. Next week she is due to launch a new initiative aimed at reducing childhood obesity. The plan is expected to tackle the issue from four angles;

• increasing the number of healthy schools,
• increasing physical activity,
• improving access to healthy food options, and
• helping consumers improve their diet.

Those who have lost weight should remember to review their life and health insurance cover as they are likely to attract better rates.
