CNN Money Highlights Technology Health Gadgets

Technology has a way of making some healthy matters easier and more challenging at the same time. But, many devices can also help reset goals and create better habits to move beyond the need of technology. Many of our unhealthy habits seem  directly related with technology driven lifestyles. Here are a few value driven devices highlighted in a CNN Money article on gadgets to help keep the Doctor or Dentist away. These are great for establishing lost good habits and letting you get back to a simple focus on other health matters.

FitBit for measuring Sleep and Calorie expenditure

FitBit Health MonitorThe third technology gadget in the list is the Fitbit.  I have one of these that I fanatically wore when I first received it. There were some serious waiting periods while the company finalized testing, but it has come in at a value price point. Other technology driven health monitors such as the BodyBugg are higher priced, but also have some additional benefits. For the price and no recurring fees, this is an unobtrusive little device to help keep track of how many calories you are burning throughout the day and how restful your sleep cycles are. Using this for a few months or longer can help benchmark and reset your fitness goals and see how well you are meeting your targets.

Check out the other gadgets and let me know if they are a good value as well.
