Six out of ten residents of the city of Nero are overweight and 19% of the population is obese. Across Spain, 17% of the population is overweight.
During this period, local restaurants will offer only healthy dishes, and in the city will be different health centers that will encourage the population to physical activity.

The project is led by Dr. Carlos Pineiro, and told the media that its main goal is to create healthy habits among children.
In 10-year-old children, obesity jumped by 2 points and overweight by 5 points. This increases the risk of developing chronic diseases and it is necessary to make changes, says Dr. Pineiro.

Students will be encouraged to walk or bike to school. Gymnastics, dancing, swimming and walking are provided for people over 70 years of age. With this program, the local municipality hopes to save 1.8m euros in costs.
