We all love making resolutions, don't we? My resolution this year was a resolution to keep a check on my health resolution. Sounds weird, right? A resolution for a Resolution!

But, no such resolution is going to keep you hail and hearty, unless someone monitors you all the time.

Such frenzied lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, nerve-wrecking work pressure, excuses to avoid the gym or salsa classes and the stress to be better than others is taxing our lives to its limits.

In this world that swears by 'SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST' norm, it becomes elementary to stay fit. Wouldn't it just be great if you could hire someone or maybe someone could volunteer for you to keep a check on your fitness?

Someone who could always restrict you from eating and drinking anything junk.all day and all night long! Well, I asked my mom to do so; however, I can't see her in the house since morning. Obviously, she doesn't want to babysit me anymore.

Yeah, this sounds like a remotely insane idea, but sadly no one has so much time for you.

However, when humans leave your side, there comes a man-made aid to pull you out of your delusion. Yes, dear readers, I'm talking about A HEALTH APP.
