A Healthy Body & Mind

By now many of you have heard about GE's Healthymagination theme. As a part of this theme GE has been doing a number of things, both external and internal, to educate on a healthy lifestyle.

First, as a part of GE Money, we received GE branded pedometers and a number of other healthy gadgets and toys.

GE also has started a number of internal contests for people that eat healthy or walk the most over a period of time. These contests have inspired some competition in the workplace and frequent lunch conversations about who had more steps that day, who will win the contest, or who we think is cheating (because who walks THAT much... shouldn't they be working haha).

Second, GE recently released a mobile application for the iPhone/iTouch, Blackberry (coming soon), and Android platforms. This app promotes a healthier lifestyle by recommending daily health tips.

The concept of these "healthy training wheels" is that by attempting to try a tip daily will lead to a better lifestyle overall. The app also includes a social game points based system that allows users to compete with friends or the overall community.

I have been using this app for over a week now and I have 7 pts. Check out the app's page here: Morsel.
