A new piece of technology may be the next big thing for the health industry since the Fitbit. The Vitastiq is a pen device that uses electro-acupuncture to track the vitamins and minerals in your blood so you know what you need to add to your diet without a blood test. By following the app prompts, you can see where you are deficient and get suggestions on what foods to supplement for the nutrients you need. However, the company also advises that you not replace this for your annual check-ups with your doctor or use it for diagnosis.
Key Takeaways:
- The app then reports if you have too little, too much or the right amount of a certain something in your system.
- Of course, it doesn’t replace a blood test and cannot prevent, treat or diagnose a medical condition – rather, “it helps you track and monitor your daily lifestyle and fitness activities, to help influence you to make healthier decisions.”
- And let’s face it, we could all make healthier choices, and re-think the foods that frequent our high rotation – especially this time of year.
“If you’re addicted to your Fitbit and refresh your health app more than your newsfeed, this shiny new toy is about to shoot to the top of your Christmas wish list.”
