Apps That Will Improve Your Well-Being ...

1. BagIQ

itunes.apple.com
play.google.com

This is an app that allows you to track the food you buy so it may be ranked on how healthy it is. You can see how much of your money is going on healthy food and how much is going on unhealthy and junk food. You do not have to do all of the data entry manually; you can do some of it by scanning the wrappers and barcodes of the food you buy and by taking a snapshot of your receipt.

2. 1 Gallon a Day

itunes.apple.com

The amount of water you are supposed to drink every day is currently under great debate, as we draw far more from food than previously thought, plus we actually generate water, which means some of our urine is not related directly to the amount we drink. However, it is fair to say that a lack of adequate hydration causes problems ranging from poor energy levels to wrinkles, therefore this app is handy to have around to track how much water you take in.

3. Healthy out

Instead of browsing through websites that offer takeout food, you can browse through websites and businesses that offer healthy food. It is a little like the takeaway apps but only for healthy food. You can pick between food you want delivered, food you intend to pick up, and places where you may dine out and eat a healthy meal. There are also filters for dietary requirements.

4. Sleep Cycle

This app uses its sound recorder to monitor how well you sleep during the night. It monitors how much you shuffle around and how you breath. You set the alarm for when you want to wake up, and it will wake you up to 30 minutes before your alarm is set to go off. It waits until you are in your lightest sleep phase so that when it wakes you up you feel less groggy.

5. TalkSpace

itunes.apple.com

This is an online therapy service that allows you to pull out your phone and experience a little bit of therapy. The app itself is free, but the work of the therapist comes with a cost.

You can discuss your life, your problems or any issues that are causing you trouble.

6. Changers

8. Thought Diary
