Introducing … the Japanese Fitness Phone (for naughty breath too!)

The Japanese always seem to be at the forefront of technology, so it’s no surprise that they’ve devised some ways to incorporate fitness into gadgets we use every day. Take the Japanese Fitness Phone, for example — it’s a phone that can degree your heart rate, act as a pedometer by counting your steps, and dish out fitness and nutrition advice.Guess what else it can do? I can tell you whether you have not good breath. Just breath into it and it will tell you whether you’re a-ok for that trade assembly or whether you need gum or a mint pronto.

The fitness phone is aimed at the middle-aged working men of Japan — and it’s certain to

be a hit since men in Japan have been getting larger by the final few years.

What do you think of weight loss and technology — A good combination or no?
