What I mean is, here?s a very simple way to know whether or not a food you are about to buy is good for you.
According to a recent study, 59% of the world?s consumers do not understand nutrition labels.? And they have misconceptions about the health properties of their food choices.
There is an app for iPhones and Android phones called ?Fooducate?. Created by a self-described team of ?parents, dietitians, and techies?, the app turns your phone into a tool to use at the grocery store, enabling you to choose wisely.
Here?s how it works: download the Fooducate app on your phone or check out the Fooducate.com website for instructions.? You can then point your phone at a product barcode and up pops product highlights, good and bad, and brief pointers about what might be a healthier choice.? There? is a Fooducate Plus app that?s $3.99, but the free version is fun to use, too, and is full of information.
As soon as I loaded the app, I walked around my kitchen pointing my phone at barcodes.? (Don?t judge.) The low-sugar chewy granola bars got a C- and had a few choice words about them not being 100% whole grain and actually containing artificial sweeteners.? No longer is that a lunch box item for my child. Then I captured the barcode of the Stacy?s pita chips.? Uh-oh. They got a D+ and I was told that, ?unlike potato chips that contain some potassium and vitamin C, pita chips are nutrient barren?.? The plus side is that I could just click through to the list of healthier alternatives to snack on ? instead of doing the research myself.?
You?ll be able to instantly tell if what you have in your pantry and fridge is healthy. And if not, you can make a list of alternatives to help you turn bad eating patterns into good.
So get Fooducated??.and here?s to healthier food choices!
