Sitting all day? That used to be Rajesh’s routine, long hours at his desk, little movement, and rising stress levels.

Everything changed when he discovered the BetterPoints app. 💚

Now, Rajesh walks and runs daily, tracks his progress, and feels better than ever:

✅ Lower blood pressure
✅ Less stress and muscle pain
✅ More energy and motivation

“The small daily challenges really kept me going. What started as curiosity has become a lifestyle.”

A brilliant reminder that even small steps can lead to big changes. 👏

💚 “I quit for my children.”💚

Meet Faheem, a Hounslow resident who finally quit smoking after years of trying, with help from Healthy Hounslow and the BetterPoints app.

“My children always asked me, ‘Daddy, please stop smoking.’

Then I met Minel, a Healthy Hounslow advisor. She helped me switch to va**ng safely and create a week-by-week plan to quit. The vapes really helped control my cravings, and the BetterPoints app motivated me to get active and earn rewards.

Now, I’m saving my points to treat my children, my biggest motivation through it all.”

👏 Huge well done to Faheem for his incredible journey, and to Minel for the support that made it possible.
