It seems that we try to improve our lifestyle by making health-related goals only to see them fall short in hours, days or weeks (sometimes even minutes!) Modern living seems to be defined by the speed at which life is whizzed through and this usually results in a dramatic drop in healthy habits. Early mornings getting everyone ready for school and work, working all day, commuting, afterschool activities, errands, and housekeeping chores seem to take over your day leaving meals to be served either by drive-thru or delivery, exercise is reduced to the nightly walk through your home switching off lights and then there’s leisure time (or the lack thereof.) No wonder weight and stress levels are skyrocketing, along with medical costs to treat the results of such an unhealthy lifestyle. The iPhone/iPod touch app developers have created free or inexpensive apps to help you get a handle on your health and mental wellbeing.
Healthy Eating
Some of the biggest challenges to eating better are time and boredom. Let’s face it, eating out is pretty much a fact of life but that doesn’t mean the drive thru has to torpedo your weight. The Restaurant Nutrition and Nutrition Menu apps provide eye-opening information on dishes served at restaurants and fast food franchises. Nutrition Menu also helps you stick to a well-known diet using its points calculator and Food Journal. Armed with that kind of knowledge, you’ll be able to make informed choices when confronted with a menu.

The other barrier to nutritious meals can be boredom. Preparing and eating the same appetite-numbing meals over and over again will drive you straight to the nearest fast-food joint and have you wolfing down salty, fatty French fries in a sluggish heartbeat. 160,000 Recipes–Big Oven app has the solution. This app provides a huge number of recipes for you to try. It also offers the option of entering the ingredients you have on hand and it will produce a list of recipes using those items, saving you from hearing the dreaded “We’re having that AGAIN?!”
