MINNETONKA, Minn. (KAMR/KCIT) According to a study released on July 29, More than two-thirds of Americans surveyed who work out said walking has been their preferred exercise option amid COVID-19, while one in five said that the pandemic has encouraged them to improve their eating habits.

The 2020 UnitedHealthcare Wellness Checkup Survey, which examines peoples opinions about health topics and preferences, includes key findings such as:

As for job performance among those who said the wellness programs made a positive impact, 54% of employees interviewed said that the initiatives helped reduce stress; 51% said that they improved productivity; 31% said they took fewer sick days. Among employees without access to those programs, 71% said they would be interested in such initiatives if they were offered.

Now is an opportune time for Americans to make an investment in their health, with employers in a crucial role to foster healthy habits among employees in the workplace and while working from home, said Rebecca Madsen, UnitedHealthcare chief consumer officer, The UnitedHealthcare Wellness Checkup Survey highlights the importance of implementing robust well-being programs that may foster whole-person health, reduce absenteeism and curb care costs.
