Food is a part of our lives and lifestyles. So much so that its intake can adversely affect ones health and lives especially when we live in a food abundant country like Malaysia.
The Nutrition Division of the Ministry of Health Malaysia has taken many initiatives to encourage the population of Malaysia to eat and live better. Following the technology trends, the Nutrition Division has launched the MyNutriApps applications for mobile to disseminate knowledge of healthy eating and living to Malaysians.
Now, we proudly introduce the MyNutriDiari, an enhancement of the previous app that aims to provide a tool to allow anyone to manage their intake of food, to encourage and to allow them to self manage their bodies and health and to develop a new healthy mindset and lifestyle in everyone especially the new Generation Ys.
MyNutriDiari has the following functions;
- A complete nutrition resource center in an app in your mobile consisting of literatures, videos, guidelines, tutorials and even has healthy recipes for you to cook.
- A built in calculator to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) which will tell you whether you are normal, thin or otherwise.
- A built in estimator that will estimate your daily calorie intake needs based on your age, gender and program. e.g. if you want to lose a kg a week.
- A suit of diarys which will allow you to monitor your own health including a daily calorie diary which allow you to manage your food intake, monitor the calories your take in and burn, record your water intake and there is also a weight monitoring diary that will help you record your weight and see your progress. All in a beautifully designed UI, with graphs and all the relevant information that you need. In the future, we plan to include more diaries that will help you monitor other side of your health such as sugar level, or blood pressure or even a stress gauge. All to provide you a visual representation of your lifestyle so you or a healthcare professional may benefit from it to provide you a better life.
- A social section that for this phase allow you to post images to the administrator or discuss with them your issues or ideas. A concept we called Nutrition Social Network which will allow you or your loved ones to get in touch with nutrition experts or community so all may mutually benefit from it. We believe that this concept and function has tremendous opportunities.
-A mobile store that you can visit anytime to get the products from our division. At the moment, we will include many of or dietary literaturse and information on nutrition in e-book format but in the future, we plan to add more products such as DVDs and others. It will be your nutrition store in your hands. Dont worry,we promise most of the products are low priced and even free.
We plan to make this app a tool to have, for everyone including youngsters and children. Do you know that with the app, you can also manage the diarys of your kids and spouse. This app is a must for health enthusiast and those who are in the healthcare world.
We hope you enjoy MyNutriDiari. Be on the lookout for new features and upgrade often as we plan to put a lot more functions and content in the app and service.
