About 40% of the adult US population is suffering from some sort of health condition such as hypertension, high cholesterol, or obesity. As such, there is an increased focus on a healthy lifestyle and exercise to reduce the harmful effects of such conditions and to avoid them if possible with the right diet, exercise, and avoiding harmful chemicals.

One new facet that is added into the mix for a healthier lifestyle is apps and mobile phones. With health apps, users can know the right amount of calories, common calorie count of popular food items, healthy recipes, and ordering from health-focused stores online.

For most people, it is a chore to eat healthy. Not to mention verifying the contents of the food you eat by going through each item and checking out its ingredients. As such many people lose their habit of eating healthy or don’t even form it.

That is where apps like Yuka can help people make more healthier food and cosmetic choices easily. With the convenience of scanning the food or cosmetic item and instantly knowing what kind of ingredient it contains and their positive or negative impact on your health, you can instantly filter the right and wrong items and make the correct choices. Yuka allows users to scan an item, whether cosmetic or food, and instantly generate a report on the item’s ingredients, including many chemicals and preservatives that may not have been mentioned and make the right choice as consumers. It will also put pressure on manufacturers to not cut corners and provide the highest quality product to the end user.

Key Features of Custom Food & Cosmetics Scanner App

Color Scale

The colour scale will either go red or green or in between based on the amount of harmful chemicals and ingredients in the product. A green colour score will indicate that the product is good to consume while a red color will indicate a significant presence of harmful chemicals in the product.

Barcode & Item Scanner

The barcode and item scanner will scan the item and list out the ingredients from the database and as per the back sticker. Barcodes of products can be used to gather the correct information about the product.

Suggestions

Users will be given a set of items that are a better and healthier alternative than the one they are currently using or are planning to use. Many users may still end up consuming unhealthy items due to a lack of alternatives and as such providing a quick list of alternatives can help them make a better choice.

Calorie Tracking

Users can track the calories of all the food items they have consumed so that they can count calories and opt for more healthier diets.
