I love gadgets, tech and data. Because the data show the actual results. These are my top 5 (must have!)

 

My top 5 health gadgets

  1. A (waterproof) activity tracker - in m.y case Apple Watch. I use it to ensure I burn enough active calories during the day, that I achieve my step goal and to measure my heart rate and ECG. As someone with a special heart, I also use the ECG app frequently, which, according to my cardiologist is pretty accurate!
  2. Scales with segmented body composition analysis. These scales measure the body composition per limb, giving you information about vat% and lean mass. I use these scales for my clients, and if you want to work with me, I will strongly advise you to by your own. Regular schales giving you just your weight are no where near giving you a clear picture of your body composition. This one 1 advise my clients. Unfortunately these schales are not to be used by people with ICD or pacemaker (like me), because it can trigger your device.
  3. Blood pressure monitor. This measures your systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out, your diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats and your heart rate. All of these are important health markers. 
  4. Glucometer. This device measures your blood sugar. Especially the fasting glucose is an important health marker. 
  5. Lumen - metabolism tracker. This device measures whether your metabolism is in fat burn, or in carb burn. Based on the outcomes it provides advice on which macros to eat. When using this in a more  advanced way it also gives insight in optimal fasting windows, the impact of sports on your blood sugar and other benefitial information. 

The products above are my personal favorite. (I do not get sponsored in any way.)
