There is a glut of health-related smartphone apps. But how many are of any real use? And what are some of the benefits of using one of these apps?

 

Beyond calorie tracking, there are actually quite a few apps out there that can help push you towards your optimal health. You can check symptoms, maintain healthy weight, monitor blood pressure, track supplements, and even make sure you brush your teeth properly.

 

Check out these top 10 suggestions (most are free) health apps from one source.

Finally, there’s an app for that. MyDS is a complete dietary supplement tracking app that allows consumers to keep track of the products they take, as well as doses and other ingredients. It allows multiple profiles, so you can also track your child, spouse or parent.

 

Always on hand, now you can complete the list at the doctor’s office or remember which calcium your mother asked you to pick up.

 

It’s free and it works on iOS, Android, Blackberry, Kindle and laptops.
