9 reasons why you should install and use fitness appsMarie Weaver
Do you dream of that perfectly toned body but do nothing to achieve it? Most people give excuses of no spare time to visit gym and follow up dieticians. Though one cannot say this is an invalid excuse, but it does not mean that you do not have any other option.
Promoting an active lifestyle in the young population could reduce these risks and assist in carrying healthy behaviors into adulthood. Physiotherapists are ideally placed to play a crucial proactive role in promoting and facilitating an active lifestyle in the young population.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

2. Children and young people's participation in physical activity is
important for their healthy growth and development. It can reduce
the risk of chronic conditions (for example, obesity) and improve
their general health and wellbeing.
Current guidelines recommend that children and young people
should do a minimum of 60 minutes of at least moderate-intensity
physical activity each day. At least twice a week, this should include
activities to improve bone health (weight-bearing activities that
produce high physical stresses on the bones, such as running and
jumping), muscle strength and flexibility (DH 2004).
3. The best way to encourage children and young
people to be physically active may differ according
to their age, developmental stage, culture and
gender. For example, improving their physical
skills and general ability to participate may make
physical activity more enjoyable. It may also help
increase their activity levels throughout childhood
and into adulthood.
4. We spend too much time staring at our phones—just ask
the pedestrians we almost walk into on a daily basis. If
scrolling through your Newsfeed or swiping right were
Olympic sports, we’d definitely take home a medal. But
in reality, the only things getting a workout in either case
are our thumbs. That’s not to say your phone can’t help
you lead a healthier, happier life. You just need to know
the right apps to download.

6. Fooducate
Foodcuate makes grocery shopping
surprisingly fun. Open the app, scan
barcodes, and get a quick read on how
healthy each item is. It also tracks sleep,
mood, and hunger levels. Then
Fooducate analyzes all of the
information and provides feedback to
help you meet your health and fitness
goals. (Free with optional in-app
purchases; iOS and Android)
7. DietBet
Just like its name implies, this app forces you to put your money
where your mouth is and show you’re not full of hot air when it
comes to your weight-loss goals. Users enter into a challenge
where they can bet they’ll lose either 4 percent of their weight in
four weeks or 10 percent of their weight in six months. Progress
is monitored by DietBet’s referees, and the pot is then split
between everyone in your group who makes their goal weight.
(Free to download, $25-$25 per bet; iOS and Android)
8. mySugar
Most of us can’t remember what we had for lunch
yesterday, but diabetics don’t have the luxury of
not paying attention to their food and how it affects
their blood glucose levels. It’s very tricky to keep
mental notes, and a pen and paper just doesn’t
measure up to the tracking capabilities of this app.
Wonder why certain days you feel crummier than
others? mySugr can be your diabetes detective to
determine the foods you need to cut back on.
(Free with optional in-app
purchases; iOS and Android
9. Zombies, Run!
Running becomes way more fun when each step gets you
closer to carrying out your mission, collecting materials for
your base camp, and keeping humans safe from the zombie
apocalypse. There’s a reason this game became the highest-
grossing health and fitness app on iTunes in just two
weeks—even though it’s free to download, you’ll start
shelling out money like you do for Candy Crush. Except this
game helps you get your sweat on. (Free with optional in-app
purchases; iOS and Android)
10. Fitnet
Fitnet is the workout app for people who can’t carve
out time to go to the gym. The app features an
abundance of five- and seven-minute targeted
workouts, so you don’t have to sacrifice time with
your friends and family to achieve your fitness goals.
Plus, the app uses your phone’s camera for a whole
new kind of selfie—this one measures how closely
you follow the moves shown on the screen. (Free
with optional in-app purchases; iOSand Android

Diet and physical activity apps are two
types of health apps that aim to promote
healthy eating and energy expenditure
through monitoring of dietary intake and
physical activity.
No clear evidence showing the
effectiveness of using these apps to
promote healthy eating and physical

and physical activity (PA) apps
affected their users. It also
investigated if using apps was
associated with changes in diet and
Physical Activity.

usability including outcome measures
such as motivations, experiences,
opinions.
