World Health Day is approaching, and you celebrate it by keeping fit using the help of apps that help promote a better lifestyle.
 
While technology can be by your side - giving you all the ammunition to encourage positive change - the biggest advocate to living and being overall healthy should still be yourself.
 
World Health Day, which is this Friday, also marks the founding of the World Health Organisation.
 
The following apps, which are available on iOS, focuses on three key spheres: wellness, nutrition and fitness.

Headspace is a guided meditation app that starts users off with a free 10-day challenge directing them on 10 guided meditations, for 10 minutes each time, while Sleep Pulse 2 Motion makes the first sleep tracker for the Apple Watch even better by tracking your motion, heart rate and nightly steps while you sleep.
