We've often heard the age-old adage that "Your health is in your hands." Now, who would have thought that this would mean, like, literally! If there are apps to teach you how to cook, books to read, entertain you, help you with your daily finances and so on, isn't it natural for apps to be developed to take care of your health?
A visit to the app store of any platform will give you hundreds of health and wellness-related apps. In our earlier article we had shared information about six such useful apps. In this article, we'll take a look at a few more handy apps which are available on both iOS and Android platforms.

It also features a "disaster preparedness section."
