Get active and build better habits with these widgets

MODERN TECHNOLOGY IS often blamed for turning us all into couch potatoes, glued to our device screens. But your iOS device can be a powerful tool to help you lead a better, fitter, healthier life. Widgets have a key part to play in this thanks to their ability to summarize key info quickly and simply. If you’re tracking your calorie intake, for example, there’s no need to open an app to see how close you are to your daily limit — just look at the widget on your Home screen.

If you do want to get a deeper insight into your health, instead of wading through dense apps you can often just tap the relevant section of a widget and be taken straight to your info. That saves you time and makes your health data much more accessible.
