Logging

Why should I log my life?
Using Wikilife to log health and lifestyle activity helps individuals become more conscious of their lifestyle, and enables you to reflect and compare trends in your lifestyle with other users. As you log different aspects of your life you might discover interesting relationships between them. For example, you may find that you'll consume more carbs on days that you have meetings with your boss.

Wikilife can help you learn what makes you feel good and what doesn't by providing you with real-time data about your lifestyle that empowers you to make better decisions.

What I am supposed to log?
We encourage you to log difference aspects of your life (nutrition, physical activity, physiological activity, sex life, drug use, etc. ) and everything else that comprises your unique profile.

How often should I log my activity?
As often as you can! The more you activity you log, the better Wikilife is able to provide crucial research data to the global medical community. Logging different aspects of your lifestyle may reveal interesting trends in your activities. For example, you may find that you consume more carbs on the days that you have meetings with your boss. You can see a description of the categories here.

How do I log a meal, exercise, medicine or other lifestyle activities?
We currently provide an intuitive, textual-based interface that detects probable matches as soon as you start typing. Notice that if you select an item from our database, the log is updated with more information. For example, if you select a food item from our database, you will get nutritional information.

How do i log several items?
If the items go together (such as components of a meal), you can enter them in a single log. However, if the items belong to different categories, then we recommend entering them them one a time since we organize the statistics based on categories.
