Health is the staple to living a good life. However, it might not always be easy to keep up with healthy food choices on your own. This is where health and nutrition apps come in handy.

Here we review the five best apps to help you pick and choose a healthy diet, as well as stick to it.
Fooducate is an app that will help you shop and eat healthy by pulling up nutritional information about food products from barcodes.
