⚙️ Steps to Use

Benefits

👉 Improved Hydration and Nutrition: Regular reminders to drink water can help you to stay hydrated throughout the day.

👉 Enhanced Physical Activity: Setting reminders to take breaks for stretching, walking, or engaging in brief exercise sessions can reduce the health risks associated with prolonged sitting, such as heart disease and diabetes. This can also boost energy levels and improve mood.

👉 Consistency and Accountability: The habit tracker feature allows you to monitor routine progress and maintain consistency in health behaviours.

👉 Increased Productivity: By managing health habits efficiently via Chrome Extension, users can avoid the distraction of switching between multiple apps and platforms. This integration can lead to greater productivity and time management throughout the day.

👉 20-20-20 Rule Reminder: To combat eye strain and pain, incorporate reminders for the 20-20-20 rule, where every 20 minutes, users look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This helps relax the eye muscles and prevent strain.

👉 Blink Reminder: Encourage you to blink more frequently with reminders, as staring at screens can reduce blink rates, leading to dry eyes.
