Natural Food Guide

App for low Glycemic Index Diet and Healthy Eating

Never before in history did we have so many healthy foods easily available. Yet, the incidence of food related chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity is rising rapidly. The app Natural Food Guide is a food database that helps you eat healthy again. Centerpiece of the app are profiles that help you conduct several dietary strategies. These profiles incorporate many criteria and highlight suitable or unsuitable foods for you.
