Even if you’re not all a-twitter about social media yet, you’ll probably be happy to learn there are a lot of new technologies – many of them free – to make it easier to stick with the Optimum Health Institute (OHI) healthy lifestyle program. Even though these applications for your android or iPhone were not specifically developed by OHI, they definitely support the core classes.
In the spirit of “back to school,” here’s a list of some free apps and opportunities to help you learn how to electronically empower your positive choices.
- “ The Dirty Dozen ” is a free app that reveals the 12 most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables so you know to always buy the organic versions. It also offers a complete list of the 50 most popular fruits and veggies, in order of harmful chemical exposure. Reference it at the supermarket to make informed decisions.
- “ Fooducate ” lets you scan a barcode, and see exactly what’s in that product in your grocery store. This free app also tracks the nutritional value and calories in everything you eat, and helps you monitor your exercise routines too. If you’re not getting enough fruits and veggies, it will call you on it, and encourage you to make healthier choices.
- “ FarmLine ” not only tells you what farmer’s markets are in your area – it gives you the map to get there. Just plug in a city, and get ready to find the pick of the crop. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phondini.FarmLine
- Though it’s called “ Indian Vegetarian Restaurants ,” this five-star rated app is internationally plugged in to meat-free meals.
- ” Meditation Music ” makes any location a good spot to tap into Alpha.
- “ Stretching Exercises ” not only illustrates how to perform simple stretches – it also tells you specifically what the benefit of each position is.
- “ MeetUp.com ” is a website designed to help you connect with like-minded people right in your area. Whether you’re looking for a raw food group, hikers, meditators or any other specialized interest, you’ll be directed to the nearest gathering.
- And finally, plug into the active OHI community on Facebook for the latest in special deals, recipes, practical tips and inspiring testimonials. Just go to facebook.com and type in “ Optimum Health Institute of San Diego ,” “ Optimum Health Institute of Austin ” or “ Optimum Health Institute Missionaries ” to join for free.
