As a teen, I used pencil and paper to track my sleep and my food intake. As a college student, I wore a pedometer and tracked my daily steps on a spreadsheet. In 2014, Fitbit released the Fitbit Force, and since then I\u2019ve had some version of top wearable on my wrist, continuously tracking what I do.<\/p>\n<p>The feedback I\u2019ve gotten from these devices is exceptional. I know that I gain, on average, 1.7 pounds before every<a href=\"http:\/\/longevityadvice.com\/female-longevity\"> menstrual cycle<\/a>, and that I lose that weight about a day before it\u2019s finished. I know that I need about seven hours and 40 minutes of sleep every night to feel well-rested. I know that if I get at least 40 minutes of cardio on one day, the following day my resting heart rate is a beat or two lower than my overall average. Knowing my body this well puts me in a great place to know if something is going wrong, if I need to reconfigure my lifestyle to push my metrics in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One wearable emerged victorious over the others in each of the three categories.
