Barack Obama taking health tips from Brit mum

London, May 1 (ANI): A British mother had a hard time believing that US President Barack Obama was following her tips on healthy eating.

Sally Bee, 41, of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwicks, thought she was being played at after the President ordered 12 copies of her cookbook The Secret Ingredient.

But the mum-of-three, who penned the book after suffering three major heart attacks in a week five years ago, was stunned to know it was not a joke and personally sent the books to the White House.

"I thought dispatch were playing a practical joke, then I was so excited I wanted to post it myself," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"It's amazing to think my ideas are winging their way to the President. I don't know how he heard about the book, but it will help him to manage a healthy lifestyle.

"He should have more energy after tucking into some of my meals. Perhaps he'll even cook up some of my recipes for other world leaders," she added. (ANI)
