Get Tech Savvy and Stay Healthy 4 Wellness Apps to Fight Aging
It’s no secret that age comes with more and more add-ons to our health and wellness plans. If you are struggling to keep up with this, you may benefit from easy-to-use wellness apps that can be downloaded and used right from your smartphone. INSTANT HEART RATE Measuring and keeping track of your heart rate has long been a complicated process of hooking up wires or strapping on other uncomfortable tools. But the Instant Heart Rate app has done away with all external equipment; all you need to do is place your finger on your smartphone’s camera, and it tracks and records your heart rate in seconds. MEDISAFE As we age, one of the prices we pay to stay healthy is taking more pills — whether they be medications or vitamin supplements. Missing a dose can be an unsettling setback to our carefully planned health regimens, so Medisafe has made it easy to set and send reminders when it’s time to take your medication.
LUMOSITY Staying mentally sharp as we age is all about giving necessary exercise to our brains, which is why Lumosity was built for “brain training.” This app creates games that are specifically designed to improve cognition and keep the synapses in your brain functioning at healthy levels. SHOPWELL Whether you shop in store or online, the thousands of choices you face when it comes to food and wellness products can be overwhelming and confusing. ShopWell helps the user make shopping lists compiled of nutritious foods as well as where to buy them. It can also show you healthy alternatives to your favorite foods (you can read more about that on Page 3 of this newsletter!). Each of these useful wellness apps can be downloaded directly from the App Store or Google Play (depending on which smartphone you have). They’re easy apps to learn about and fun to use, so no matter how tech-illiterate you might feel, you still have the tools you need to keep yourself feeling great.
Patient
of the Month
ADAM CORNBLATT PAN-MASS CHALLENGE
“I chose this charity because it’s a great cause, and we’ve all been affected by cancer. We should all try our best to put it in the rearview mirror. My dad was diagnosed with cancer when he was 54 and unfortunately lost his battle a year later. Watching such a strong, amazing person being ripped down by this disease will forever be in my mind. Lets all do our part to abolish this terrible disease.” –Adam
Whenever Adam comes to his appointments, he has a way of uplifting everybody around him. He always has a positive attitude and it is hard not be happy when he is here. Adam has been an easy selection for patient of the month, and as he gets better and gets closer to discharge, we know we will miss him.
