When it comes to healthy living, regular workouts, eating green vegetables and fruits are a few key ingredients that can make a lot of difference. If you are living in the UK, adding these ingredients to your life can now make you earn rewards from the government.
According to the latest reports, the British government is planning to provide cash incentives, bonuses, and discount coupons to those who will adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Under this initiative, the government will monitor fruits and vegetable intakes of registered people through an app. Also, the supermarket spending of the family will be monitored and those who will reduce their calorie intake by buying more fruits and vegetables will earn rewards.
According to a report by The Guardian, the Department of Health and Social Care will give £70m to NHS and local councils in England to pay up to 7,00,000 to overweight people to go on weight management courses.
Interestingly, the app will also track and award those who will take a short journey on foot to school or work.
According to studies, two in three adults in the country are either overweight or obese. With this initiative, the government is optimistic that it will help reduce the obesity rates within a few years.
