Many people are focused on getting healthy. The popularity of health and fitness apps is up 87 percent compared to other app categories. And do we need to talk about the billions of dollars spent on exercise equipment that ends up in the garage? Or at a garage sale? But for Black people the trick has to be education. It can be hard if we don’t know, or get bad information on how to go about getting healthy, more active and losing weight. For example, all those diet fads that say you can lose 20 pounds in 10 days. Hi.Q attempts to give users all the best information without the tedious Google search.
With the Hi.Q app you will find both the questions and their answers are vetted by health and fitness professionals like Harvard Medical School physician Dr. James Colbert and U.S. Olympic Team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Hacker. Most answers link back to scientific studies or the articles so you can learn more about the topic.
The Hi.Q quiz app can also be fun. When you complete a quiz you’re given a score. A high score earns you status and titles such as “Elite.” Other titles include “Health Guru” or “Health Pioneer.” You can share this with your social media friends or diet buddy.
The social media aspect of the app keeps you interested and connected with other users. Hi.Q CEO and co-founder Munjal Shah created the title and scoring system to validate user credentials. So when a user claims he or she is an expert on this topic you can check their scores and see for yourself.
Hi.Q is a fun and useful tool. But the real benefit is what you get out of your increased knowledge. And for African-Americans knowledge is the way to a better, healthier life. Hi.Q can help us learn and understand the benefits of daily exercise and proper diet.
Hi.Q is free and currently available only on Apple.
