NASH vs Mediterranean Diet Assistant

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects up to 25% of the western world's population and can result from excessive storage of fat in liver tissue. The most common reason for storage is an unbalanced lifestyle. The NASHorn app of the Goethe University Hospital in Frankfurt am Main was developed to provide health-conscious users with scientifically sound information about the disease pattern of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In addition, NASHorn is intended to help users to shape their own lifestyle as healthily as possible. Functions such as the Self-Assessment and the daily challenge can be used to record weak points in everyday life and work out minor lifestyle changes. The app reminds you to implement these changes regularly and can thus help you achieve greater well-being in everyday life. All data entered is recorded exclusively on your smartphone and is completely deleted by removing the app. Functionality: • Scientifically based information about the liver and the disease pattern of fatty liver (NAFLD) • Self-Assessment / Determine how healthy your everyday habits are • The Challenge / Challenge your habits and improve your lifestyle • Calendar / View challenges and achievements and be reminded of daily tasks • Nutrition Recommendation / Tips from the Goethe University Hospital in Frankfurt on the topic of a healthy and balanced diet Disclaimer and general information on medical topics:  The content presented here is intended solely to provide neutral information and general education.

People who eat a Mediterranean diet have longer, healthier, disability-free lives than people eating a Western ultra-processed food diet. Use this icon-based visual aid to help you follow a Mediterranean diet to prevent or manage many heart and circulatory, brain, bone, colorectal, joint, metabolic and skin diseases, many types of cancer, and sepsis. A Mediterranean diet has also been shown to prevent many age-linked diseases such as sarcopenia, age-related macular degeneration and chronic kidney disease. The foods to eat daily (vegetables, fruit, wholegrains, olive oil, low-fat dairy, herbs & spices, and nuts & seeds), at least twice weekly (legumes, oily fish, egg, potato, and white meat), and only occasionally (red wine, red meat, processed meat, and sweets) are depicted visually. The app includes icons and nutrition details for 19 wholegrains, 66 vegetables, 39 fruits, 12 oily fish, 15 white fish & seafood, 20 herbs & spices, 17 nuts & seeds, 19 legumes, 4 low-fat dairy foods and 2 types of olive oil. You can add these to your daily food log, your favourites, and your shopping list, and the app will let you know which food groups you need to add to your consumption for the day to adhere to the Mediterranean diet.
