In recent years, we’ve finally come to the understanding that mental health is just as important as physical health. It’s critical to take care of your psychological well-being in addition to your body. Both of these things, however, are easier said than done. That’s where these apps come in. We’ve rounded up the best health apps for everything, including meditation, kick-your-butt workouts and improving your eating habits.
Here, nine health apps that will help you live your best life.
YogaGlo
The cost: $18/month
A favorite of Jessica Biel, this app allows you to stream 11 different kinds of yoga while you're on the go. The app also offers meditation. They just launched a new course called Women's Moon Circle, which helps you connect with the lunar cycle and your inner goddess. (Into it.)

Ab Fit App
The cost: Varies.
This app, from Revenge Body trainer Ashley Borden, features different fitness programs you can do with basic equipment. It currently features a 12-week transformation program (as seen on Revenge Body) and a six-week weight- loss program inspired by her client and Shahs Of Sunset star Reza Farahan.

Obé
The cost: $27/month
Obé (pronounced obey), offers live streams of workouts from top trainers in New York. You can also sign up for the classes, much like you would for a boutique studio, and it creates a calendar reminder. The philosophy behind these two things: It creates a sense of accountability and community. Plus, all the workouts can all be done sans equipment. The online version is available now; the app launches later this month.

MyFitnessPal
The cost: Free (with option to purchase premium)
This app is an oldie but a goodie. It has an easy to navigate system that helps you track your food, exercise and water intake. You can create customizable goals, and a wide variety of foods are already in the app's database—meaning you spend less time trying to figure out how much protein is in 4 ounces of chicken.
Daylio
The cost: Free
This app makes journaling a breeze. It helps you track your mood and the activities you did during the day by way of personalized icons. What makes it unique is that, while you can add notes if you would like, there's virtually no typing required. You simply select icons.
Overall, it's super easy way to track your mood and create healthier habits for yourself.

Ada

No more searching WebMD for your symptoms. This app was created by doctors and scientists, and it's an AI-powered health platform.
