The best Google Home orders for health, nutrition and fitness

The full list of Google Home orders continues to grow. You can already use it to turn on or off your lights or to watch TV streaming, but you can also use your Google assistant as a personal trainer, food journal and meditation teacher.

This guide lists all of Google Home's best orders for the many facets of well-being: aptitude, eat healthy, mind, medical and sleep.

Aptitude

If you are short of workout ideas, if you need to know your heart rate or want to take a workout, Google Assistant is at your disposal.

Get fitness inspiration

Some apps and devices integrate seamlessly with Google Home, including Fitbit. You can:

Get information about your vital data and your business

Google Fit syncs with an impressive collection of apps, including Lifesum, Runkeeper, Strava, MyFitnessPal, and more. It can also be synced with formatting trackers, such as a Fitbit Smart Watch or Google Wear OS.

The Google Fit app can collect data from these apps and devices, and you can use Google Fit to track your progress throughout the day by asking questions such as:

• "What is my heart rate?"
• "How many steps did I take?"
• "How many calories did I burn?"

Use the BMI Buddy app to track your body mass index. Just say, "OK, Google, ask BMI Buddy about my BMI."

Follow your workout sessions

You can also use Google Fit to track your workouts. Tell it to:

• "Follow my race"
• "Start a bike ride"

Depending on the applications you use, Google Fit records statistics such as your running or cycling speed, the duration of your workout, and the number of calories you have burned during your workout. It can also store location data if you allow your built-in apps to use your location.

Healthy eating

Get new recipes as you like, learn about nutrition information about your favorite foods, and track your nutritional goals with Google Home.

Get nutrition facts

Google Assistant can provide you with nutrition information on single-ingredient foods, such as apples and eggs. Ask your Google homepage:

• "How many calories in …"
• "How much sugar in …"
• "How much protein in …"
• "How much vitamin C in …"

You can also ask him to break down the nutritional information in the prepared dishes by saying, "How much protein is in the meatloaf?" or similar questions.

Get recipes

You do not feel inspired in the kitchen? Just tell Google Assistant: "Hey, Google, show me some recipes." You can get more details and say "Show me a lasagna recipe" or insert the food you want to cook.

Google Assistant will offer a recipe list of culinary partners supported by Google Home, such as Epicurious or Food Network. Note that you must have a smartphone or tablet for this feature to work because it is not compatible with a desktop computer. the Google Home Hub makes this feature even more powerful because it has an integrated screen that shows you step by step instructions.

Follow the calories

Use Calorie Tracker to easily track your food consumption with Google Home. Say, "OK, Google, talk to Calorie Tracker."

If you connect to nutrition and hydration with a connected app, such as Lifesum or Fitbit Plus, Google Home will also track this data. It can store information about your caloric intake, your water intake, your macronutrients and your micronutrients.

Mind

Again, for Google Home to help you in your day-to-day work of mindfulness, you need to use the right apps.

Meditate

Currently, you can start a new meditation session by telling Google Assistant:

• "Speak calmly"
• "Speak to the headspace"

Headspace offers a larger suite of commands, including:

• "Tell Headspace I'm ready to meditate"
• "Ask Headspace for today's meditation"
• "Tell Headspace I want to relax"
• "Ask Headspace to help me fall asleep"
• "Tell Headspace to connect my account"

Your application of choice will guide you through a meditation after logging into your account. Do not forget that these apps require paid subscriptions, but even if you do not pay for it, you can access a small selection of free meditations.

Relax

Relax Guru is an integrated Google Home application that helps with daily relaxation and stress. You can say:

• "Talk to Relax Guru"
• "Ask Relax Guru to help me relax"
• "Ask Relax Guru to help me manage my anger"

Personal care

Personal care is an area in which Google Home can make improvements because few applications integrate with the smart speaker on the personal care front.

Create a care routine

Liv at Estée Lauder is a virtual beauty assistant who can help you create your ideal skincare routine based on your goals for the skin, the current condition of your skin and the length of your time. Liv recommends products, offers beauty tips and helps you adopt a regular skin care program.

Tell Google Assistant:

• "Talk to Liv in Estee Lauder"
• "Ask Estee Lauder Liv about skin care"
• "Ask Liv about Estee Lauder about nutrition"
• "Ask Liv on Estee Lauder about sleep."

Medical

Google Home can help you find information about nearby doctors, complete or transfer prescriptions, and provide symptom counseling.

Get information about health providers

Google Home can not (yet) make phone calls or make online appointments for you, but your assistant can help you speed up the process. If you have MetLife as a health insurance provider, you can use the MetLife application. First, say, "OK, Google, talk to MetLife."

Instead of browsing the web yourself, ask Google Home:

• "Find a dentist"
• "Find an ophthalmologist"
• "How much does a root canal cost?"

MetLife gives you more details and allows you to ask Google Home "What is the cost of an imprinting fill in New York?"

If you are not insured by MetLife, you can use the Google Health Services Finder app to search for nurses, doctors, and specialized providers. Try: "Hey, Google, find an optometrist near me" or "Hey, Google, find a hospital near me."

Fill a prescription

If you use NowRx, you can fill out and transfer prescriptions via Google Home. Tell Google Home:

• "Talk to NowRx"
• "Ask NowRx to fill a prescription"
• "Ask NowRx to transfer my prescriptions"

You must be a current NowRx customer to use this feature as new clients must undergo a pharmacy consultation. To do this, you will need to contact the NowRx pharmacy directly.

If you use CVS, you can check the schedules of stores and pharmacies, as well as specific services such as the pharmacy with driving or vaccination. You can also search for a MinuteClinic and get waiting times. Say "OK, Google, talk to CVS" to start.

Get information on symptoms and conditions

Although Google Home does not replace the medical advice of a professional, you can use it to get an idea of ​​what your symptoms might be. You can directly ask Google Home by activating the listening function ("OK, Google") and then saying:

• "What are the symptoms of …"
• "How to treat …"

Simply insert the condition that interests you, for example, "How to treat a sore throat" or "What are the symptoms of diabetes?"

You can also talk to WebMD. Say: "I want to talk to WebMD" or "Ask WebMD", followed by common health questions such as:

• "What are the side effects of ibuprofen?"
• "How can I treat the flu?"
• "What is hypertension?"

Sleep and routine

Sleep is a chronically underrated part of health – it's often the solution to common health problems, such as mood swings and persistent sugar cravings.

Play white noise

Google Home can play the role of your white noise machine by playing everything from the sounds of a crackling campfire to a rainstorm and ambient sounds.

If you do not care what it's all about, just say, "Hey, Google, play ambient sounds" or "Hey, Google, help me relax." If you are looking for a new sound, ask: "What other ambient sounds do you know?"

Get some sleep tips

Remember Relax Guru from the Mind section? You can also use this app to help you fall asleep. Just say, "Ask Relax Guru to help me sleep better."

Create routines

Another underrated way to improve your overall well-being is to create routines and to respect them. By following a routine with the same bedtime and waking hours each day, you'll feel more rested and productive.

Google Home can help you: you can create a task routine to complete when you say "Hey, Google, hello" or "Hey, Google, good evening".

Here is an example of a sequence using "Hey, Google, good evening".

• Reminder to take medication
• Lights turn off
• The TV goes out
• Thermostat drops 5 degrees

The extent of your Google Home system's capabilities ultimately depends on built-in applications and applications compatible products
you use with.

Keep in mind that these wellness tips can help you keep up with your fitness and healthy habits, but the information provided by Google Home is no substitute for the advice you'll get from home. A health professional.
