Eating a healthy diet is one of the most important ways you can maintain an active lifestyle and protect against health problems. Healthy eating increases energy, improves the way your body functions, strengthens your immune system and thwarts weight gain.
The EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ provides nutrition information that helps you make informed food choices. It is extremely valuable to individuals that are at risk of developing certain medical conditions—such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol and osteoporosis, (all impacted by diet)—that require close monitoring of specific nutrients.
The EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ instantly calculates the exact values for 12 major nutrients contained in any size portion of hundreds of different foods which are programmed into the scale in the following sequence by pressing the 1/2/3/4 button on the left-hand keypad.
- Calories, Carbohydrates, Fiber
- Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium
- Total Fats, Saturated Fats, Cholesterol
- Calcium, Protein, Vitamin K
The EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ can be used in conjunction with most physician recommended eating plans. For example, the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) support studies that state blood pressures can be reduced with the Dash Diet (The Dietary Approach To Stop Hypertension). This eating plan is low in sodium, saturated fat, total fat, and cholesterol, and rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium, as well as protein and fiber. The EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ makes it easy to understand these nutritional needs and use that knowledge to make educated food choices to lower your blood pressure.
The EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ is also useful for people striving to control their weight, and for others who simply wish to maintain optimum health by monitoring and balancing their daily nutritional intake of calories, fats and proteins.
Among its many unique features, the overwhelming advantage of the EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ system versus other nutrition information resources, is that it gives you precise nutritional values for the actual portion of food you are about to eat—not an abstract, generic "serving size" from a book. It thus takes the mystery and guesswork out of calculating portion sizes, and helps you learn how to gauge appropriate food portions and nutrient content by sight.
In addition, the EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ is the only scale on the market that includes a NUTRITION FACTS Calculator mode that allows you to determine the nutritional content of foods that come in packages, boxes, cans and other labeled containers. By entering the serving size and Nutrition Fact from the label it will calculate the nutritional value for the portion placed on the scale.
By using the EatSmart Nutrition Scale™, you can make your nutrition program as comprehensive as you wish by analyzing the nutritional value of thousands of labeled and unlabeled foods with touch tone ease.
If you're ready to make a serious commitment to improving your health by controlling your diet, the EatSmart Nutrition Scale™ can help you reach your goals—safely, sensibly and practically.
