Whether we like it or not, our smartphones are something that have become a major part of our lives, and have become a part of our health and wellbeing. We can use it for keeping in touch with and connecting with our friends, as well as new relationships, looking up recipes, playing music for working out, and just helping us to feel good. There are a whole host of things that we can do each day to boost our wellbeing, using a range of apps and tools that can benefit us. 

From tracking your period, to managing stress and anxiety, to checking how much sleep you have had, there are a number of apps that we can use to take care of our health and wellbeing and keep us on track of our goals. You can order a takeaway from your phone, so why not be able to have a yoga session or meditation class right from your phone too? 

There are so many innovations in healthcare, so why not have them right at your fingertips? Take something like Ambulnz, for example. It is an on-demand ambulance service that means that you can schedule and track medical transportation in real time, which can be innovative for healthcare facilities, as well as patients. So here are some of the things that you can make the most of using your smartphone, for better health and happiness.

Headspace

Headspace is a mindfulness and meditation app that has many famous celebrity fans. It helps users of the app to have a space for their brain to workout, and was created in part by a former Buddhist monk. The idea behind the app is that it takes ten minutes a day to use the app, listen, and then help to clear your mind as a result. Users can benefit from better attention spans, feeling more alert, as well as feeling more calm. 

Clue

For those of us who have periods, then you can use a cycle tracking app like Clue. There are a number of apps for tracking cycles, so what makes this one any different? You can track your period and also track the symptoms that come with your periods, such as headaches, mood swings or cramps. You can monitor things like how much sleep you have had too, as well as other lifestyle factors like sex or how much alcohol you have had, which is why makes this different to other apps. It helps to generate a big picture about your overall health, both mental and physical, rather than just physical. If you want to get to know your body better, especially at that time of the month, then this is something that can be key.

Deliciously Ella

If you want tasty and healthy plant-based meals right in your phone, without having to search the pages of Pinterest, then the Deliciously Ella app could be the one for you. There are hundreds of recipes on the app that you can choose from, and new ones get added regularly. All of the recipes are vegan friendly, as well as being gluten-free and refined sugar free. So although you don’t have to be vegan to use them, there are a number of benefits to eating more plant-based meals in your life. You could take the leap and go plant-based full-time, or use it as a way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet for a vegan meal once a week.

Sleep Cycle

Do you find that sleep or getting a good night’s sleep is something that starts to stress you out? Do you have a battle with getting good quality sleep or feel like you regularly don’t get enough sleep? If this sounds like you, then the Sleep Cycle app is one that could really help. Tracking your sleep cycle overnight, based on different movements and sounds, the app works to wake you up when you are sleeping at your lightest, which means that you will feel less groggy when you wake up. If you always feel exhausted when you wake up, then this is worth a try to help to eliminate that feeling

Down Dog Yoga

There is something for everyone on this yoga app, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned expert. You can do the workouts right from home, and you can set the time for your practice, as well as the kind of practice that you want. You can also specify if you want pregnancy yoga or focus on specific areas like avoiding the back, for example.
