We have created this sedentary lifestyle that is causing havoc in our overall life. Even people working on App Development have the same issues, we spend more time sitting at a desk than moving around at work. The problem with ‘experts’ is that they are only focused on the negatives. They haven’t looked at so many of the benefits that technology has to offer us.
So, that’s what we’ll be looking at today as part of our week-long trip round the Sun City Health Revolution.
Technology is Everywhere in Medicine
Technology is everywhere in medicine, from x-ray machines to MRI scanners. It’s used to prolong life and create a better quality of life for those on around the clock care. Improvements don’t just lead to better physical health, they support better mental health, which in turn improves the physical health. Technology improves connections and relationships, offering support to everyone.
It Pushes Us to Do More Activity
Technology has helped to push us to do more activity. The Fitbit, pedometers, and apps that track our steps all encourage us to meet our daily targets. While there is the goal to walk at least 10,000 steps a day, that just doesn’t seem realistic for many. Some can involve doing home workouts and even walk on the spot to increase our step count.
Most of the time, there isn’t much that we need to do to set up these devices. Most involve some type of phone app or computer software just to sign up and create free accounts. We sync devices, and we get to go off and work our ways to being healthier and fitter. Some will have exercise modes, count stairs, count calories burned, and even monitor your sleep. Devices are set to help you live a healthier and more fulfilling life.
These apps and devices can help you stay within a healthy weight range. There’s no major cost for them, with many of them available for less than $200. You will feel better for it, knowing that you can keep yourself from accidentally going over regarding calories throughout the day or over a certain weight.
