Stay healthy - Get the best from your diet with the app FoodGuide - Published on 08/25/14

Which foods are rich in protein, but low in fat? Which fruits provide adequate amounts of vitamins? How do certain foods affect my blood sugar level? With the app "FoodGuide - Vitamins & Nutrients" for iPhone and iPad from Baliza GmbH, it is now possible to take a closer look at the nutritional value of over 700 foods, allowing you to compensate for any natural nutrient imbalances. The new version includes a glycemic index and glycemic load and more foods and thumbnails.

Nuremberg, Germany - Nutritional habits have changed dramatically in the last 150 years, a period in which more and more industrially processed, fatty foods are being consumed. Humans are eating fewer and fewer fruit and vegetables, while the consumption of sugar has increased almost tenfold, and a human being's metabolism is simply not prepared for these extremely high levels of fats and carbohydrates. This change in diet can sometimes have fatal consequences. Obesity and diabetes have become common diseases, and an unhealthy diet can result in bodily shortages of vital vitamins and minerals.

Dieticians recommend a high-fiber diet that raises blood sugar levels gradually, and the app FoodGuide is a valuable aid in this regard. In addition to displaying the nutritional values of sugar, carbohydrates and fiber, it can also, with the help of the glycemic index and glycemic load, be used to estimate the degree to which certain foods cause blood sugar levels to rise. The data is then rounded off by the vitamin and mineral content of foods and their corresponding daily requirement.

Numerous additional functions:
Foods can be conveniently sorted according to certain nutritional characteristics. In this way, foods can be found and listed with, for example, high protein or vitamin content. Using the function "Find based on requirements", you can create your own criteria, in order to identify products that fall into these categories. The search criteria can also be easily mixed and matched, allowing you to, for instance, search for foods high in zinc but low in cholesterol. An important additional feature for vegetarians and vegans is the option to exclude meat, fish, milk and eggs from the search entirely.
