How Apps Can Improve Your Health

In 1997 a man names B.J. Fogg was trying to create an application to help people develop good habits and help them to create a healthy lifestyle. It has been proven by Psychologists that the best way for people to achieve a goal such as weight loss is to break it down into smaller components. Taking on new things too fast is why some people fail their New Year's resolutions. Mobil technologies can help with health goals by guiding them through small steps. Fogg's app FitBit tracks sleep, calories burned, and exercise while you wear it. This avoids having to open the phone and put in information; you just look at your results to see how you're doing. The Philips DirectLife health monitor is also an option.
