Sport is so good for your health that the government is considering reimbursement for it on prescription. Details from Damien Mascret, present on the 20 Heures set, Tuesday September 26.

Good for health, it is necessary to do sport, so much so that the government is considering reimbursement for it on prescription. According to doctor Damien Mascret, this would be a good investment. “Against the three most deadly cancers each year in France (…) thanks to regular physical activity, at least 30 minutes three times a week, we reduce our risk by up to 27%”he explains, present on the set of 20 Heures, Tuesday September 26.

Good results in Strasbourg

The experiment is already being carried out in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin). The primary health insurance fund has “carried out a study on some of the 864 people from Strasbourg included in the Sports health program on prescription in 2020 and 2021. Well, not only did their health improve, but people also needed significantly less medication: -35% over a period of 18 months“, reveals Damien Mascret.
