In the age of technology and mobile devices, we can surely find a use for every time of day, and for every use we want. Entertainment, productivity, office, contact … To everything there is software, or in the best case, a range of options to choose from.
Health is a factor not escape this trend, with dozens of applications that control our body and, in theory, we could save several visits to the doctor or to the gym. However, there is more than one reason that these apps could be an excuse, and I shared some below.
- No Software Replaces a Specialist
First of all, we must make clear one of the major errors in the use of these applications: the use of methods without consulting a specialist.
Any diet, exercise routine or drastic change in our behavior should be supervised by someone who can really analyze the impact, and not by mere impulse of a user. Download an application can be tempting, but it could end up being counterproductive.
- Lack of Discipline
Again, download an application from the store is the easiest steps to take … But then, depends on us create the habit of use to actually take effect.
As with diets or trips to the gym, the highest result and we will see after a while, and anxiety usually ends against us. And try “other applications” neither is the great solution.
- Must, but do not want to do
The operation of any of these apps is quite mechanical and generic, even if it seems personalized.
The problem is that they usually give the feeling is to feel “forced” to react to the application, unlike other where we really felt attracted to its use. And when things are done by force, we know how they can finish.
- Not All About Calories
If we keep talking about the operation of these applications, unfortunately many are summarized to control calorie intake. No matter what you eat, or how or when … Whenever you comply with the quantity accepted.
Obviously, this is a very simplistic way of looking at things, which could bring many health complications. Or in many cases even the opposite effect and gain kilos pronounced.
- No Exercise, There is Always an Effect
Finally, the main reason why we cannot always get good results with these applications: lack of exercise.
No diet will achieve sustained effect if not done a proper exercise that models the body and assimilates weight changes, because the body itself needs to be worked fully. Weight loss is not necessarily a good result in itself, so our intake vary addition to all the above, it would also be a waste of time, a major health risk.
