Fifty best websites of the year

Time magazine has listed their 50 best websites of the year. The categories range in anything from music and video, family and kids to shopping and travel and social media. One of the categories is health and fitness, so here are those websites with a little information about each.

CalorieKing is a website that provides nutrition information about thousands of different foods. The foods range from foods purchased at the store to restaurant and fast food. The basic information from the website is free, but there is paid access too that provides more options on the website.

Healthgrades includes ratings for health care providers and hospitals, as rated by those who visited the website. It also includes specialty areas and insurance information. This can help narrow your search to find an A+ health care provider.

MapMyRun helps runners keep track of runs. You can also find runs that have been shared by other runners, as well as workout and meal planning information. There are paid plans, but also many features that are ad-supported and free. If you don't run, you can check our similar sites, such as MapMyHike, MapMyRide, and MapMyWalk.

Summer Tomato is a blog by a scientist that includes photos, links to other recommendations, recipes, and answers to reader's questions. The blogger is an advocate of eating healthy, delicious, local, and seasonal foods. 

Zen Habits is a tranquil blog, providing both sensible and practical information. The blogger only posts 5 to 10 times a month and helps us slow down a little and appreciate life.

While this is not an exhaustive list of health and fitness websites that are available, these are the five that Time decided to choose. With so much information available at our fingertips, it is important to find what websites provide you with beneficial information or the information you are searching for.
