In such a technologically advanced society that we live in, naturally our technology has decided to help keep us healthier. After all the buzz on different apps to download, these five are probably the most beneficial for your life.

According to CIO.com, a sales manager at a Napa Valley winery was having trouble losing weight until he discovered the Lose It! app on his iPhone. This man went from weighing almost 240 pounds to 185 pounds because of this app. Here are five iPhone apps that will help you live a healthier lifestyle:

Lose It! Not only is this app free but it helps you stay on track by counting calories and imputing your fitness. You can track your weight and see if you are making progress. Others like this are: Calorie Counter Pro, Calorie Tracker and Nutrition Menu
iFitness: this one will cost you $1.99 but it is one of the most popular apps in the App Store. This app covers every major muscle group and provides a wide-range of exercises, routines, weight loss, muscle building, travel workouts and strength training. Tools can help monitor your weight and calculate your BMI, customized workouts are also available.
WebMD: this app is great for first aid information, has a medical encylopedia where you can check out symptoms, articles and research drugs and treatments.
RunKeeperPro: many apps specialize in specific activities. If you are a runner you’ll want this app, it is a little more expensive than other apps but definitely worth it. This app keeps track of how far you’ve run, how long it took, calculates speed and the calories burned. You can find apps for yoga, biking and other activities too.
Sleep Cycle: having trouble sleeping? This app is able to monitor your sleep from REM sleep cycle, dream state sleep and deep sleep. Also it can be your morning riser so you can choose to be awaken by a soothing sound rather than an obnoxious alarm clock.

“My iPhone is always in my pocket so I can easily and somewhat discretely put in what I was eating,” Austin Robertson, sales manager at a Napa Valley winery says. “Lose It! didn’t make me have to start doing some workout or eating plan outside my normal daily routine. It just provided clear-cut boundaries and visual incentives.”
