Looking for a Healthier Life Online?

Today Wellshpere has been launched - a new social network for people who instead of merely wanting to be healthy are ready to do something to reach the goal.

When you create an account with Wellsphere you will need to enter ZIP - and that's perfectly clear taking into account that some features of the new website are location-based, like looking for a sports activity partner or healthy vegetarian restaurant. After registration you will be brought to ‘Update profile' page to state some information about your health status - height, weight, orientation, body type (and no cheating, you won't be able to reach the healthier, happier life without sharing the truth). But these fields are optional so you may keep your wish to bring your body from "Obese" to "Athletic and toned" private and simply search for the diet and activities you need here.

Besides, the location-related features of the network enable you to kill two birds with one stone: improve your health (lose weight, run a marathon) and find a friend or a relationship at the same time - sometimes it is absence of a partner that stops us from jogging in the morning or skating on weekends. There is a special section to find a partner for your health-related activities here: based on your location the website will search for a user living in your neighborhood and having the interest (and even skill level) required.

In your personal profile you can create your wellspheres by setting two goals: the first goal is what you want to achieve yourself (ranging from "Eat less sugar" to "Learn stress management techniques") while the second goal is your personal area of expertise - something you are skilled in and can help others with. These goals will be used for other users in their searches for advice or companion.

Provided the community of this alpha website is active enough, Wellshpere will grow into a powerful knowledge base of online and local health-related resources and a good and reliable way to meet people who share the same interests. But still it seems that Wellsphere has some exciting tools to make people stay here and use the network eagerly. Especially if the people are too busy to spend time with two social networks - one of them for health and the other one to look for friends and partners. Here is the place to find things and people that will definitely meet your expectation. Besides, the website seems to be efficient enough not to keep you online for hours - we all know it is not the healthiest of all activities, don't we?
