REVELSTOKE, BC, May 1, 2024
/CNW/ - In support of Women's Health Week, leading nutrition
tracking app, Cronometer, has unlocked their Women's Health
Nutrition Score. The score will be available, for free, from
May 1 to May 31.
The app's Nutrition Scores bundle purpose-specific nutrients
together and provide users with an overall score based off their
diet for that day.
The Women's Health Nutrition Score, which is normally behind a
paywall, helps women achieve optimal nutrition by highlighting
nutrients that females are typically lacking such as iron,
magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, and fiber.
This gives female users an easy way to gauge if they are hitting
all their recommended daily intakes for those nutrients. A survey
of Cronometer users found that 53% of women aged 18-24 reported
they have or suspect an iron deficiency; one of the most common
deficiencies impacting women's health.
"While studies on single nutrients offer mixed results, our
holistic approach to nutrient profiles provides a more complete
picture of health," suggests Karen
Stark, Lead Nutrition Scientist at Cronometer.
The Score was originally developed by Cronometer's Lead
Nutrition Scientist, Karen Stark and
released to users in May of 2022.
"By providing detailed and accurate nutrition information to our
users, we hope to help people enjoy a healthy and balanced
lifestyle." says Aaron Davidson, CEO
at Cronometer.
Anyone looking to take advantage of Cronometer's Women's Health
Nutrition Score can sign up for a Cronometer account for free on
their website, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store.
Along with the release of the Women's Health Nutrition Score,
Cronometer notes the limitations of current practices in the
medical and nutrition industries when it comes to inclusivity of
trans and non-binary people. Currently, due to a lack of scientific
research available to account for other options, nutrient target
calculations are sex-based, forcing users to choose a sex in order
to accurately calculate settings within the app. Cronometer hopes
to improve how the app serves this community and are asking anyone
who identifies as trans or non-binary to reach out to their team at
research@cronometer.com to discuss how they can better achieve
this.
