| |
█ Are you worried about your health? Do you want to lose weight? Are you a diabetic concerned about your blood glucose levels? Then “A Low GI Diet – Glycemic Index Search” is the perfect tool for you. For the last 2 years this iPhone and iPod Touch app has been helping 1,000s of people maintain a healthy diet by showing them the GI score for thousands of everyday food items. Now with this latest update you can also check the Glycemic Load. Arguably an even better indicator of the health value of the foods you eat.

Carbohydrates release glucose into the bloodstream as they break down. Some carbohydrates break down faster than others. The Glycemic Index (or GI) is a measure of how fast different foods break down, with 100 representing glucose itself.
Low GI Foods (GI of 55 or less) release glucose slowly and are considered healthy. Some examples are fruit, such as apples and peaches, or pasta.
Medium GI Foods (GI between 56 and 69) release glucose more rapidly so are not as healthy as Low GI Foods. Potatoes are an example of Medium GI Foods.
High GI Foods (GI over 70) release glucose the fastest and are the least healthy. Some examples are white bread and white rice.
Glycemic Load (or GL) is a new measure added in this update. It combines the GI score of a food and the amount of carbohydrates in that food.
Low GL Foods (GL of 10 or less) are considered most healthy.
Medium GL Foods (GL between 11 and 19) are in the middle.
High GL Foods (GL over 20) are the least healthy.
Generally GI foods are also low GL foods. But some high GI foods such as watermelon (GI=72) are low GL Foods (GL=4). This is because watermelon contains a very low amount of carbohydrates.
A Low Gi Diet - Glycemic Index Search is available in 9 languages.
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese.
This app enables you to search a list of over 2,000 foods using multiple and/or partial word searches. Simply press the search box and enter your search via the keypad.

Are We Related - Touch and Scan DNA
| |
This realistic DNA Analysis simulator allows you to receive input from two people who should or could be related.
There are 3 modes; Am I Adopted? - For kids who've always wondered (or hoped) that they're not living with their real parents.
Can We Date? - Essential for anyone in a relationship who want to make sure they're not dating a long lost cousin.
Paternity Test - For fathers who aren't quite sure if they should be paying all that child support.
After the mode is selected the DNA Scanner reacts to your touch. But you will need two people to touch the scanner at the same time to allow the DNA analysis to occur.
The DNA Analysis machine uses a mixture of nano-technologies and DNA analysis techniques such as restriction fragment length polymorphism and oligonucleotide primers to analyse your DNA. However we can't claim 100% accuracy so you should always consult a qualified professional before making any decisions based on the results.
Good luck! You never know who you might be related to, or not.
