Lack of proper diet causes many diseases like night blindness, gum death, rickets, osteomalacia, etc. Similarly, undernutrition will cause a low intelligence quotient (IQ), osteoporosis, anemia, scurvy, pellagra, etc. Over-nutrition will result in obesity, Type II diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart diseases. Also, the unhygienic intake of food, intake of food on no fixed time, intake of fast food intake of other unhealthy stuff can lead to irregularities in the human body. Adopting healthy habits, physical activity, exercise, sports, and walking can lead to a healthy lifestyle of an individual. In addition, today's busy schedule and less time availability restricts individuals to visit the doctors or nutritionists. Many mobile applications were developed for monitoring and calculating an energy level as well as healthy nutrition. This review chapter has assessed the use and features of various mobile phone health applications, which helps individuals to overcome and monitor the above-mentioned health-related issues.
