If you need a simple Windows Phone app to track your weight, blood pressure, glucose levels, and medications take a look at Health&. I liked the Health & app but it may not appeal to everyone.

It's a rather simple tracking app that taps into a healthy amount of resources. MyFitnessPal boasts the largest food database with over 1.2 million items and based on using the app over the past few days, I believe it. The interface is easy to pick...
Over the past few years, as consumers have become more concerned with how and what they eat, the number of people choosing to lead a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle has increased dramatically.
