Wearable Technology Has Health Benefits  By Brad Jermeland
The latest fad of the 21st century is wearable technology, and at the moment it’s fitness trackers.  But why are these little wristbands with screens on them so popular?
Well, studies have proven that these fitness trackers have improved many people’s health throughout the past year.
People can now count all of the daily steps, keep track of their sleeping habits, and see the exact amount of calories they burn in a workout.
All of this information helps people recognize how much exercise they’re getting and aid in keeping on track when it comes to weight-loss.
Here are some other reasons why fitness trackers have a positive impact on people’s health:
When it comes to reaching your health goals, fitness trackers are extremely beneficial in that they show you all of your results when it comes to burning calories and how many steps you take.
Most fitness trackers also include a distance calculator, sleep monitor, and exercise duration so that you can make sure you are fully committed to your fitness goals on a daily basis.
Basic weight-loss not only comes from calorie intake in relation to your weight, but also relies heavily on staying healthy by getting rest and being relaxed.
The fitness tracker can tell you how much you’ve walked in a day – or in a week, and will give you clues as to whether or not you will reach your fitness goal based on numbers.
Another great way fitness trackers help people stay healthy is that their design makes them easy to use so that you can enhance each of your workouts.
Most fitness trackers have history and statistics tracking and vibrating alarms that can tell you when to start and stop whichever exercise you want – whether it’s an eight-minute ab session or a thirty-minute run around your neighborhood.
You can track all of your progress just by glancing at the screen, giving you more motivation to finish what you started. Instead of just guessing that your workout was successful, you can make sure of it by looking at the numbers – accuracy is always in the numbers.
Fitness trackers can also help you when it comes to determining what food is healthy to eat.
Some are even able to can scan a food item and let you know all of it’s nutrients.  This way, if you’re tempted to eat that piece of chocolate cake at your works holiday party, the fitness tracker will tell you exactly how high in fats and sugars that piece of cake is – thus, hopefully curbing your decision to eat it.
