People who do not consume enough fiber are prone to overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, constipation, diverticular disease, hemorrhoids, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, arthritis, many types of cancer, depression, Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease. A 2013 review and meta-analysis of 11 studies on the effect of fiber intake on the risk of diabetes concluded that there is a 6% reduction in risk for every 7g/day of fibre. Later, in 2019, the Lancet published a review and meta-analysis of 135 million person-years of data from 185 prospective studies and 58 clinical trials with 4635 adult participants showing that people with a daily intake of between 25g and 29g of fiber have a 15–30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those who consume very little fiber. The risk appears to be even less for those who have higher daily intakes of fiber (over 29g/day). Use this app to ensure you are consuming enough fiber every day. Set your daily fiber intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of fiber content in foods and beverages (ie, g or %target/serving, g/100g or g/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner, dictation, 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, synchronise data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome. The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons.
