Wellness apps

Physical wellness and mental wellness are closely tied together. Diet plays a role in depressive symptoms. Exercise can lift the mood. Struggling with chronic conditions brought on by a lack of exercise or poor diet makes it hard to do the things one loves that make them happy, ultimately affecting mental wellness. It’s all a part of the other. That’s why using wellness apps that help you better understand how to eat, give you tips on how to eat right, inspire you to exercise, offer guided workouts, provide virtual sessions with trainers, and even give insight from nutritionists, can be a valuable part of your mental wellness plan. The wellness app Blaque, designed for Black people, by Black people, is worth checking out. The company says, “Our app-driven coaching program is built by fitness and wellness professionals and provides a customized, interactive and focused approach on cultivating members’ optimal well-being.”
