With obesity and lifestyle diseases on the rise, here is a gadget that is enjoyable and incredibly easy-to-use to keep such diseases at bay.

 The Jawbone Up24 is a fitness tracker that comes in the form of a thin bracelet-style gadget meant to be slipped around the wrist and worn all day long.

The UP wristband syncs with iPhones and Android phones over Bluetooth to help you learn how you sleep, move and eat. It tracks calories burned and the intensity for any type of workout.
