Staying healthy and fit in modern days has proven to be quite the challenge and is a necessity for the modern man. Thankfully, we are living in the age of technological advancement and constant progress, therefore a smart move is taking advantage of these blessings and implementing helpful tools and gadgets to keep us in shape.
As there is a wide range of possibilities and options out there, we went through the trouble and selected the most useful ones, to save your time and effort.
Training apps
The first thing you can use without any excuses is different training apps right there on your smartphone.
These innovative and helpful gadgets can drastically improve your overall lifestyle, saving you a lot of time and effort.
Many training apps come with a lot of features, including whole training programs and plans on how to lose weight, gain muscle or stay in the same shape. You can easily plan ahead and schedule your next training session, keep track of the burned calories, the progress you made so far, and how successfully you stick to your diet.
Another great feature of most training apps is the animated simulations of exercises, helping you do it right without the help of professional training. Basically, you can train at home and make a lot of progress.
Protect your eyes
More and more people, especially the ones working in cooperative firms and behind the desk are complaining of eye pain and problems with their sight.
Interestingly enough, this is an occurrence of modern times as the new lifestyle people adopt is affecting their health. Laptops, computers, and even our smartphones are radiating the infamous blue light which can affect the wellbeing of our eyes.
As the eyes are irreplaceable and surgeries cost thousands of dollars, maybe protecting them with blue light glasses is a far better option. These inexpensive and compact glasses protect the eyes and your sight from the light your device is emitting, and prevent a stabbing pain behind the eyeballs and frequent headaches.
You may also get protection for your smartphone screen and even light bulbs made out of the same material. Also available are daytime and nighttime blue light glasses, which are excellent solutions for night owls who work late.
Diabetes checkers and wireless blood pressure readers
These items are generally for those struggling with diabetes and high blood pressure. The wireless blood pressure reader is a little compact device that allows for easy reading and actually eliminates extra movement for a more accurate diagnosis. They also come with phone apps, allowing you to share the data with your doctor via your phone instantly, and they fit in your car's glove compartment or purse.
The latest blood monitors make it possible to get an accurate readout of the level of glucose in your blood. They're small enough to fit in your pocket and can come in handy in a variety of scenarios. The new gadgets are inexpensive, and some of them can store hundreds of measurements and maintain the data.
Another option is to use sensor reading devices, which are nearly identical to needle-pinching devices with the exception that you don't have to pinch your finger as often. The sensor is implanted in your arm and can stay there for up to 14 days. To get a reading, simply place the device near the sensor and the monitor will display the data. It also comes in a tiny and compact size.
Water filters to go
Another useful device you can use is a small water filter device that easily fits into your bag. These water filters, the size of an average jug, and the purifier keep your water healthy and clean.
Clean water, without the pollutants and chemicals added, is a rarity these days and often you find yourself in a situation without access to clean bottled water. Therefore, having a purifier in your car or bag just in case is a great way to keep yourself hydrated and healthy at all times.
Smart scale
We have smartphones, tablets, and other devices, but now you can get a smart scale that will tell you your fat percentage, heart rate, and bone mass in addition to your weight.
These new scales might come at a price but are more than convenient to have in your home.
Every morning, you can check your overall health just by standing on them for several seconds.
Air purifiers
It is not only the quality of the water changing drastically in urban environments, it is the quality of the air, which is taking a sharp turn to the worst in the last decades. Global pollution includes the reduced grade of the air we breathe every day. More and more people are allergic to pollen and other pollutants in the air making their daily life harder, and the rates of lung cancer have quadrupled in the past 50 years.
Having an air purifier can improve the overall quality of your environment, even in closed spaces such as your living room or kitchen. Some “smart” air purifiers are also showing the humidity and temperature of your space.
Compact espresso machines for outdoor activities and your standard fruit blender with minor tweaks are among the honorable mentions on the list. All of these things can improve your health and keep you safe.
