Uses for the HealthFitCounter

Millions of people suffer from the yo-yo effect when trying to lose weight. The reason is very simple. They go on diets that are designed for quick weight loss without taking into account that they simply won't be able to maintain those eating habits for any length of time. Usually these weight loss programs or products are boring, radical, tasteless, and simply not fun. Fortunately, weight loss is really a fairly simple process, and the HealthFitCounter can help you to lose weight quickly, moderately, or slowly and be able to stay with it literally forever. You will look great, feel great, and be healthier than ever! And you will still be eating the foods you love!

A proper diet is vital for people with diabetes and the HealthFitCounter can help improve blood sugar levels. The HealthFitCounter can assist with carbohydrate counting along with keeping track of total sugar intake. Blood sugar levels are influenced by what we eat and the HealthFitCounter can provide the nutritional knowledge to enhance the control of blood sugar levels. It is very important for people with diabetes to consume the proper amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and dietary fiber and it is in this area that the HealthFitCounter becomes a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve blood sugar levels.

Heart Attack, Heart Disease, Stroke, and the HealthFitCounter

The HealthFitCounter is a great tool for anyone who has had a heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a history of heart disease. The HealthFitCounter will help keep a record of how much fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium a person has eaten in one day. Heart attacks and strokes are one of the nations leading causes of death, and diet plays an important part in preventing both types of heart disease. Both heart diseases are the result of plaque buildup on the artery walls, which can be caused from a high fat diet. Diets that are high in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may cause a rise in your blood cholesterol that can result in plaque buildup.

Fiber is also an important nutrient that can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Most Americans consume only 10-12 grams of dietary fiber per day which is half the recommended amount. The HealthFitCounter can help provide guidance to ensure that a low-fat, high fiber diet is followed to help prevent heart disease.

Hypertension

Hypertension (High blood pressure) is known as the silent killer because it doesn't have obvious symptoms. Reducing the amount of sodium in the diet can help bring the blood pressure down. The HealthFitCounter can help you keep track of your daily sodium intake and also help you identify very high sodium foods. Most foods contain some amount of sodium but those over 300 mg. per serving are considered high sodium foods and the HealthFitCounter has that information pre-programmed in it's memory!

The HealthFitCounter allows flexibility for special occasions and would be excellent for people who dine out on a regular basis.

Pregnancy is a very important time in a woman's life and good nutrition is essential for having a healthy pregnancy.
