1. MyFitnessPal Don’t be a mindless eater! One of the best ways to lose weight and keep it off is to track what you eat and drink throughout the day. Create a profile on MyFitnessPal, enter your weight goal and begin tracking your food intake and physical activity. The app calculates a calorie recommendation based on your weight goal and informs you of how many calories you have left for the day as you enter what you eat in your personalized diet profile. There are millions of foods in the searchable database, plus it can sync with other wellness apps, making use simple!
2. RockMyRun Pump up the energy of your run with music that sets a pace or motivates you to go farther through tempo. The app utilizes your phone’s accelerometer data to adjust the beats per minute and propel you forward.
Help others benefit from your newly invigorated workout through Charity Miles. Choose a charity of your choice and 10¢ a mile for bikers and 25¢ a mile for walkers and runners will be donated by the app. All you need to do is turn on the app and go the distance.
3. Environmental Working Group’s Food Scores This is healthy, that is not. Who can keep track anymore?! Take the guess work out of it and choose the best foods for your well-being with help from this app. Three factors are evaluated (Nutrition Concerns, Ingredient Concerns and Processing Concerns), and then a score is assigned. Find out which foods contain the most pesticides or those that are packed with additives and preservatives. It uses an easy to view green and red scoring system and even breaks down the score of each of the factors.
4. Twilight Blue light emitted from phones, tablets and computers can interfere with the body’s natural circadian rhythm and cause sleep disruptions. While you can’t always put your technology away a few hours before bed, you can soften the light on your eyes and promote healthy sleep. The app adapts to the time of day and triggers the device screen to produce an easy on the eyes red filter after sunset.
