iHealth - Apps for improving your health!

Please share!

I just spent about an hour searching for free apps for my iPod Touch to help with this road to better health. There’s a lot out there! I thought I would share what I found with my readers. I have not previewed all of these, but I did pay close attention to reviews and since most are free, so if you don’t like one, you can just delete it–no harm, no foul. If you have an app you love, please share in the comments!
