File Color icon green.svg right 115px A green prescription is a referral given by a doctor or nurse to a patient, with exercise and lifestyle goals written on them. The term, used by health practitioners in New Zealand draws parallel to the usual medicalprescriptionprescription s given to patients for medications, and emphasises the importance of exercise in improving their condition, and not relying on drugs.

Studies have shown that an increase in exercise, better sense of well being, and a decrease in blood pressure results from using the method. A decreased risk of coronary heart disease has not been shown.
