The Center for Disease Control is a great website for up to date information on local
communicable diseases. This website is a tell all about any disease that the human body can
contract. With Type 2 diabetes being one of the top diseases in the U.S. the CDC has a plethora
of information about the information on this site. It gives information about prevention, and
control of the disease. This website also gives information on contaminated food and animals in
different areas. The CDC not only gives facts about internal diseases, but you can find
information about motor vehicle crash injuries as well. This website tells about losing weight

2) My fitness pal
I think that this website is a great website, because it serves as a mobile calorie counter that
really works. It always has up to date apps that make counting calories a breeze. The app
actually reminds you to log in during the day. Its completely free and doesnt require a credit
card at any point in using it. Its compatible with any smart phone. Myfitnesspal even tells you
how many calories you need to cut or add to your diet to achieve your fitness goal. I have used
it personally for three years and I have learned to count calories by looking at food before I put
it on my plate. You can also log fitness activity as well on this app.
