为了推行健康的生活方式,阿联酋迪拜市政府近日启动“减肥换黄金”活动,在30天内每减掉1公斤体重就能获得1克黄金(每克黄金当前市价45美元,约合276元人民币),参与者最少减去2公斤才能兑换黄金。减重最多的前三名参与者还将获得一枚价值5400美元(约合33150元人民币)的金币。最后的称重比拼将于8月16日进行。
由于快餐泛滥和缺乏锻炼导致海湾国家肥胖率急剧增长。迪拜市政府主任表示,最近恰逢斋月,正是举办这个活动的最佳时期。它提醒人们减肥的益处,鼓励人们努力克服不健康的生活方式。该活动赞助商是迪拜黄金和珠宝集团和迪拜多种商品交易中心。
Authorities in Dubai are offering gold in return for weight loss in a scheme to encourage healthier living.
Those interested can sign up from Friday for the initiative which lasts over the next 30 days and coincides with Ramadan, a month of fasting.
For each kilogram lost, participants will receive a gram of gold, which is currently worth about $45.
Those taking part - dubbed "golden losers" - need to lose at least two kilos to receive the payout.
The three participants who lose the most weight will be entered into a draw to win a gold coin worth $5,400.
Called Your Weight in Gold the scheme was announced by Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality.
"Ramadan is the most appropriate season to launch such initiatives as it reminds us about many health benefits of reducing weight and encourages us to take strong steps to change our bad lifestyles," he said.
There has been alarm across Gulf States at the sharp rise in obesity blamed on increasing fast-food diets and a lack of exercise.
The Your Weight in Gold scheme is being sponsored by the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) .
Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive chairman of the DMCC said: "We would highly encourage everyone from all walks of life to take part in this great initiative and hope DMCC's contribution of AED 100,000 ($27,225) worth of gold coins will help motivate individuals."
At Friday's registration participants will be able to receive advice on how to lose weight without harming their health.
The final weigh-in will take place on 16 August.
