Although there are certainly plenty of Health and Fitness apps available in the iTunes Store, B Healthy U say that their “Body & Mind Connection” app is the first Health and Fitness app that is designed to help people live healthier lifestyles by showing how different lifestyle factors interact with each other. The programme also offers daily diet and exercise tips from world-class experts, including Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, and Joe Decker, who broke the Guinness World Records 24-Hour Physical Fitness Challenge in 2000.

The app works by asking the user to rate their progress on a daily basis with a set of specific lifestyle factors: diet, exercise, sleep, hunger, energy, mood, stress and weight. Colour-coded graphs then show the user how the different factors relate to each other, such as lack of sleep affecting appetite, or eating the wrong sort of foods causing excessive hunger, so that the user can then adjust their lifestyle to better match their health and fitness goals. After two weeks, you’ll get a printable diploma, and after one month a graduation degree. Here’s Mitzi Perdue, Founder of B Healthy U, talking about the app:

“I created this app because I wanted to share the benefits that come with a healthier lifestyle. What you eat, how you exercise and how well you sleep can have powerful and unexpected consequences on other aspects of your life. It takes no more than 60 seconds each day to rate these lifestyle factors and as a result, it can truly change your life.”

Mind & Body Connection, which also features expert daily diet and exercise recommendations, is available now from the Apple iTunes App Store for $4.99.
