Descripción

Use this app to lower sodium intake to lower risk of high blood pressure (a common cause of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney disease), osteoporosis and stomach cancer.
Set your target daily sodium intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of sodium content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, mg/100g or mg/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner, dictation or search, or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods (a sodium/salt conversion tool is provided) and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are in green type with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type.
2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popups.
3. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) likely to harm the gut microbiome are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and their harmful effect on the gut microbiome is linked to inflammation and many diseases including type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease.

Limited data base

Very limited data base for foods

The app now includes a barcode scanner. In addition, the app is curated and preloaded with 325+ common (mainly healthy and unprocessed) foods and drinks and the user can add their own branded and other foods and recipes at any time. This means the app does not require access to the Internet (except on first use of the barcode scanner for a food), does not collect any personal data, does not carry advertising, and does not require additional payments.

Have to calculate to enter new foods

Why can’t I enter nutritional info with serving size and sodium per serving. Seems as though I have to convert to mg/100g even when I thought I was selecting to view per serving. Slows down entering new foods and I switched to another app because the best tracking is the tracking I’ll actually do. I’ll give it another try if I have time this weekend, but most likely will be requesting a refund from Apple on this one.

The "Add Food" screen in version 2.11.3 available as a free upgrade to anyone who has paid for the app provides the option to use sodium or salt; mg/100g, mg/oz, or mg/serving; color codes and icons to highlight added foods as healthy plant or probiotic or unhealthy ultra-processed food (UPF)

Don’t Purchase - Worthless!

I purchased the DASH Diet bundle a couple of days ago, and I deeply regret spending $7.99 for this. There are no portion sizes listed with the corresponding mg of sodium so that I can track my partner’s sodium intake each day (he was recently diagnosed with CHF, and it’s critical that he restrict his daily sodium intake). The apps are horrible and there is no ease of use. I would like my money refunded!!!

The app has been redesigned using new Apple technologies. The foods and amounts you eat can be recorded easily and quickly using the barcode scanner, speech recognition (touch the microphone icon), or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time. You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and fiber intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers. Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share data with Apple's Health app. You can also synchronize the app with all your Apple devices and First Line Medical Communications Ltd apps. The serving sizes are mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central, but can be changed at any time via the "Add food" tab to your choice of measurement eg g, oz, cups, pieces. The app is preloaded with 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time. This means the app does not require access to the Internet (except on first use of the barcode scanner for a food) or registration, does not collect your data or require additional payments, and there is no advertising.
