win a backpack

If you have been actively participating in the GOQii India Health Quiz, you are well aware of the awesome rewards and the points required to claim them. Recently, we came across a user who was able to win a Backpack within 1 day. Sounds impossible? It isn’t.

Let’s see how this user won a backpack within 1 day!

Doing the Math

If the target points required to win a backpack is 500, then ideally you will have to play 10 quizzes and get all the answers right. But you only begin with 15 keys to participate in the quiz. It is possible to not get all the answers right or even get eliminated in the first round.

There’s a possibility that you might have to play around 20+ quizzes. So how exactly did this player get more keys?

Collecting Keys

A new player begins with 15 keys. To get more, this player engaged in the various activities required to earn more keys. He began with completing his 6000 steps target and collected 4 keys.

He then proceeded to take the HRA test within the app to earn an additional 10 keys. This brought the total number of keys he possessed up to 29, which meant he could play 29 quizzes. He also went on to invite 2 of his friends to download the app using his referral code. This gave him 10 additional lives as well.

Playing and Claiming a Backpack 

Once he was geared up with everything he needed, he played 21 quizzes. He scored:

  • 50 in 4 quizzes
  • 30 in 7 quizzes
  • 15 in 4 quizzes
  • 5 in 6 quizzes

This brought his total points to 500. During the course of the quiz, he lost some lives but was able to win a backpack within 1 day using this technique! Although he was informed that the backpack would reach him within 2 weeks, he was happy to receive it within 6 working days.

That’s it! Winning a backpack in the GOQii India Health Quiz is that easy! If you put your mind to it, nothing is impossible.

A Step Towards a Healthier Future | India Steps Challenge

How many times have you woken up to the sound of your alarm, only to push it on snooze and go back to sleep? How many times has your day been a blur of monotonous routine, backed by the lack of energy and motivation to do anything? Have you been juggling meals between Swiggy and Zomato instead of a nutritious home-cooked meal? Has your desk job tied you down to your chair in more ways than one while stress, head-aches and other pains take refuge in your body?

Have you ever wished for a change?

Change is coming, but before that, let’s go over some stats. If you think you’re the only one suffering from body-aches, lifestyle diseases or a complete lack of energy, our recent IndiaFit Report says otherwise. Apart from over 57 per cent of the population across key cities such as Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai being overweight, there has also been a steep rise in lifestyle diseases. Diabetes has increased to 5.1% in 2018 from 3.6% in 2017, Cholesterol has increased to 12.1% in 2018 from 5.2% in 2017 and High Blood Pressure has increased to 9.4% in 2018 from 4.9% in 2017. This spike in numbers can only be attributed to one thing – a lack of physical activity.

Indians Among The World’s Laziest?

With technology simplifying so many things for us, the need to physically move has deteriorated along with our health. In a study published by Stanford in 2017, Indians were found to be among the world’s laziest citizens, clocking in an average of 4,297 steps a day and ranking 39 among the 46 countries that were surveyed. Though the number has improved to 6783 as per our IndiaFit report, it is hardly any reason to celebrate.

Given the grave circumstances we’re facing, our only option is to get active and we must get active now! In an attempt to curb lifestyle diseases, GOQii will be initiating a movement to make India an active and healthy nation by using one of the oldest and greatest forms of physical activity－walking! If you’re unsure about how walking can help, let us tell you that it is known to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, boost immunity, aid weight loss, reduce stress and depression while significantly increasing overall productivity among a myriad of other health benefits.

The GOQii India Steps Challenge in partnership with Network 18 begins today, the 22nd of February and is open to any Indian resident who has installed the GOQii app. This unique initiative aims at making walking a rewarding experience. All you need to do is clock 6000 steps a day for 100 days on your GOQii tracker or in-built phone sensor to collect points and claim rewards. Overall, we are issuing 40,000+ prizes worth INR 5 Cr. with one grand winner taking home INR 5 lakh in cash. Other prizes include backpacks, GOQii trackers, exercise gear and mobile phones.

While these rewards are a tempting offer to begin walking, remember that the real wealth is good health! So download the app, charge your trackers and lace up your walking shoes! It’s time to make India the healthiest country in the world!

Fish In Pesto Sauce

FISH IN PESTO SAUCE- RAJ BHALLA

The star of the dish is the Pesto Sauce which made my hardcore Punjabi food loving mom say WOW! So, you can imagine how good it was! This sauce is full of strong flavor of different herbs and nuts, truly amazing and it is sharp.

Cooking time-15 mins

Serves- 2

Recipe ingredients

  • Fish Fillets, I used Singhara (Cat Fish).
  • Mixed dried herbs
  • Salt and Pepper.
  • 1-2 tablespoons oil to pan fry the fillets (olive)
  • Basil leaves.
  • Mint Leaves
  • 4-5 Garlic cloves
  • Walnuts (you may use Cashew nut)
  • Little Olive oil extra

Recipe preparation

  1. First, we will make the Pesto sauce and It is very simple.
  2. Mix Basil, mint leaves, garlic cloves, little olive oil, walnuts, little salt and pepper in a grinder.
  3. Grind it well but not to a coarse paste. You should grind it only to the level where you can feel the grains of walnut. It should have a nutty bite.
  4. Your Pesto Sauce is ready. Keep it aside.
  5. Now, season the fillets with salt, pepper and Mixed herbs.
  6. Heat oil in the pan. Though make sure oil is not too hot. We will cook it on medium heat else on high heat else fish will burn from outside and won’t cook from inside.
  7. Sear the fillets and cook for 5 -7 minutes from both sides. Do check how well your fish is done. It should be white and fibery from inside once cooked. If it’s pale or off white, its not cooked.
  8. Once done, using a spoon, smear the pesto Sauce on one side while the fish is in the pan. Let it cook for another 2 minutes for the fish to absorb some flavors of the sauce.
  9. Serve hot.
