Alola – Your Health and Fitness Advisor

More often than not, we tend to indulge in fast food and our body suffers in this regard. With every 3 cups of coffee and the frozen food that we eat, our health gets deteriorated. But, with our fast paced life and no time to cook real and healthy food, how many options are we left with? None, that is what everyone thinks.

And this is the reason why the founders of Alola created this app. It is a blessing for people who are running out of time every day and thereby subsequently compromising on their health. Alola does a lot for you and one of those things is to make a personalized grocery list. All this at the convenience of your phone! What else could you have wished for?

About Alola

The app is currently in its beta development stage. The founders of this app are Hishami, Mark Meador, Kelly Powers, Mohammad Shaaban. They have come together to create this app that will redefine what people eat and how much they eat. The app’s ability to personalize according to everyone’s lifestyle and health is the much needed feature in this world. Not everyone is vexed with the same problems and choices and this is what the makers of this app focused on when they were brainstorming to create this app.

This start-up is based out of San Francisco, California.

Target Audience

Anyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle by incorporating healthy food in their day-to-day life is Aloha’s target audience. There is no one out there who doesn’t want to be healthy and put something useful in their body. This app is specifically designed for those people who are living their lives on the clock and have no time to think about what is right for them and what is not.

Genesis of Alola

There is an inspiring story behind the inception of the app. Mohammad Shaaban, the CEO and founder of Alola had his own tryst with cancer when in 2008, his mother was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer. She was given two options, the first one was the chemotherapy and the pain that comes with it. The second one was to eat only healthy and real food. Being a brave soul, his mother chose the food option and in 2011, she was declared cancer-free.

This experience had changed Mohammad’s perspective. We have become so self-involved that we have forgot to take care of the most important thing – our health. And after this experience, Alola was born in an attempt to help people live a fuller and healthier life without any tension of impending disease and relying on medicines.

Why Alola?

There are tons of other apps that will provide you with a list of items that are classified as healthy and give you complete recipes for it too. Then, why should you go for Alola? Here are some features of the app that will convince you about its USP and how amazing it is to have a personal dietician at your beck and call.
