Innovative Health Goals Facebook App Makes You More Likely to Succeed

A new Facebook App designed to help people succeed in getting fit and healthy has been launched by Flora Fountain Health online chemist.

You can try out the new Health Goals App at http://apps.facebook.com/health-goals/.

Flora Fountain’s Facebook Health Goals App uses psychological methods to help peopleachieve their plans to get fitter and healther - it could be any goal they choose, from exercising more often to quitting smoking or eating their five-a-day.

Visualising a goal helps make it more achievable - so the App gets users to visualise their goal through creating a written record of it. The next step is to make that goal concrete by sharing it with others - they can choose as many of their Facebook friends as they want to support them. Telling other people makes you much less likely to quit because you’ll have your backers to answer to, as well as your own conscience. Users can also use the App set a deadline for their challenge...which also makes them more likely to succeed by planting their vision firmly in real time.

Health Goals is supported by Flora Fountain Health, an online pharmacy that aims to deliver excellent customer service, a great range of products, free medical advice from a qualified pharmacist, and well-informed product knowledge. Flora Fountain has been a high street chemist for over 30 years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Advice is free and questions welcome. Questions can be asked online using our Ask A Pharmacist page and the most frequently asked will be shared anonymously with our customers so that everyone can benefit.
