Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Comfort
Pressure Cooker ($349)
Homemade food is an integral part
of a healthy lifestyle, but preparing
and cooking meals can be time con-
suming. Luckily, Kuhn Rikon is here
to help with its Bluetooth-enabled
pressure cooker. Just download the
free app and choose from hundreds
of tested recipes for every type of
dish you can imagine. You’ll be guid-
ed through step-by-step instructions,
and the pressure cooker will auto-
matically adjust cook times and tem-
peratures for each recipe. Your meals
will be ready in a fraction of the time
ordinary stovetop cooking would
take, and with up to 70 percent less
energy consumed.Activ5 Isometric Strength
Trainer ($129.99)
Many of us don’t have time to
make it to the gym as often as we
should, so Activ5 is here to fi ll in
the gaps. Small enough to fi t in
a purse or pocket, the portable,
isometric trainer works with its
companion app to walk users
through over 100 strength-building
exercises. The personalized work-
outs are only fi ve minutes each,
but if you use the device several
times a day, you’ll soon see a dif-
ference in your range of motion,
muscle tone, and stamina. My
favorite way to use the Activ5 is
in game mode; there are so many
to choose from, and you can com-
pete against other Activ5 users.
Muse 2 Brain Sensing Headband
($249.99)
Meditation is great for reducing stress,
improving sleep, and even lowering
high blood pressure, but maintaining a
daily practice is easier said than done.
The Muse 2 measures your heart rate,
breathing, brain activity, and movement,
then tailors what nature sounds it plays
back to you in order to improve each of
your guided sessions. This trains your
mind and body to veer back toward a
meditative state, making each session
maximally productive. The calm, relaxed
feeling you’ll have will motivate you to
fi re up the smart headband regularly.COROS SafeSound
Urban Smart Cycling Helmet
($199.99)
One of the scariest things I’ve
seen recently is a teenager with
headphones on, gazing at their
phone while biking down the
street. The SafeSound helmet’s
sound system projects music or
phone calls into the ears without
headphones or earbuds, keeping
riders aware of environmental
noise. A wind-resistant micro-
phone allows both ends of a
call to come through ungarbled.
Other safety features include a
fl ashing LED taillight and a crash
detection system that sends a
GPS signal to predetermined
contacts in the event of an
emergency.Apple Watch Series 5 (Starts at $399)
If you buy one device to help improve and
monitor your health, it should be the Apple
Watch Series 5 featuring an always-on
display. Features like a Medical ID on the Lock
screen and built-in fall detection are handy,
but there’s so much more on offer. Use the
Workout app to track exercise, and view your
daily steps, standing, and aerobic efforts in
the Activity app. Detect high and low heart
rates or irregular heart rhythm with the new
ECG app. Keep and view all of your data in the
Health app, along with metrics collected by
your other smart devices.HEALTHY
