Immune System +

Choose This not That for Immune System. Inside this app, you will find easy to follow suggestions on how to boost your immune system, reduce your risk of infections and manage symptoms through nutrition and the food choices you make every day. For some viral infections, there is no proven treatment or vaccine available at the present time. Our best defense is our own immune system. If you rather tackle health issues and risks through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes then this app is for you!
A number of features make this app so different and superior to others in the market:
• This app is the only one in the market that offers dietary guidance for a stronger immune system AND its combination with the following risky and common health issues: diabetes type-2, excess weight, high blood pressure, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, stress and Vitamin D Deficiency. There are separate guidelines specific to viral infections. Also included are dietary guidelines for detoxification, leaky gut and microbiome health -- all of which are critical to a stronger immune system.
• Top-5 items to do or eat, and the top-5 things to avoid.
• Is this food good for me? Answer to the common question about suitability of various food items and recipes for your personal situation, in an easy to understand and colorful graphic form.
• Recommendations on the best food choices within a food group, based on your personal profile. An extremely valuable tool when at restaurants or when grocery shopping. Over 850 food items and growing number of recipes are included.
• ACTIONABLE information on what is good, what is bad, and what is neutral for your condition(s). We single out specific food items, and give you an ordered list of helpful and harmful foods within each food group.
• Suggestions on appropriate life style choices, alternative therapies and herbal remedies, when such options are promising and available to you.

“Proper nutrition and other alternative treatments show great promise in preventing and treating many of the illnesses that we deal with every day. I encourage all my patients to follow appropriate nutrition and research other options for themselves. The Choose This Not That series are an excellent step towards improving people’s knowledge in this area.”

“The Choose This Not That series of apps provide dietary recommendations focused on common chronic health problems. They are easy to understand and thus easy to implement into daily life. Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series. They should serve as a valuable complement in helping people manage chronic illnesses through dietary and lifestyle modifications.”
