Every now and then I find through the clutter of the Internet a resource for health and fitness news that proves to be quite valuable. This blog and the tools at its sister site fit that profile.

The Hello Healthy Blog covers all sorts of information related to diet and fitness. New information on a variety of topics is posted daily. On a recent day the blog included postings on how to lower sugar intake, a 20-minute workout video, and a list of reasons as to why running is so good for you.

The Hello Healthy Blog is actually run by myfitnesspal.com. Over 65 million people access this site. It includes an app for your phone to log what you eat and you can count the calories on a daily basis. It also has a “community” arrangement where you can work with other people to lose weight. Studies clearly show that if a person monitors their intake that more weight is lost.

Fitness and health information is more abundant than ever now, but good information is not always easy to find. Using resources like the Hello Healthy Blog to help you achieve your health goals is a form of preventive care.
