The Information page lets you store basic details about you and the medical
professionals who care for you. Using this page, you can keep track of your
current doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, insurance policies, emergency numbers,
and special medical conditions. You can easily print your information so you can
keep a copy near the phone or leave your children's data with the baby-sitter in
case of emergency.
Food
If you're like most Americans, you've tried to keep track of the foods you
eat at least once in your life. Whether your motivation has been to count
calories, track fat consumption, or evaluate your general nutrition, you've
probably found that keeping accurate records is not only time-consuming, but
next to impossible. Not with Life Form. Entering the foods you eat is
quick and simple thanks to Life Form's "Smart Search."Find the Foods You Eat Not only is Life Form fast, but it is also thorough. By using the Food page, you can track each and every food, calorie, and fat gram you consume. Life Form contains a database of nutrient values for over 13,000 foods, including many items found on your supermarket's shelves, in your favorite fast food restaurants, and in grandma's old cookbook. You record your meals by selecting foods from this database or adding foods and recipes of your own. You can even edit existing foods and recipes to reflect your personal preferences. What Nutrition Information Does Life Form Track? Life Form tracks the nutrition information found on the Nutrition Facts label. This includes: calories, calories from fat, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. You can view information for individual foods and groups of foods by composition or in the Nutrition Facts label format. You can also view information for each meal and each day, as well as the average daily consumption for each week. Later, you can review this history from day to day, week to week, or year to year to analyze changes and consistencies in your eating habits. Exercise
For those who exercise regularly, Life Form's Exercise page provides an easy
way to record information and monitor training programs. The Exercise Journal
lets you keep a detailed history of your exercise activity.When you enter exercises in the journal, Life Form estimates the number of calories you burn. Even if you never enter an exercise, Life Form displays an estimate of your daily caloric expenditure using information you provide in the User Setup. Life Form takes into account your age, height, weight, sex, activity level, and heart rate or intensity in calculating your calories burned. We have estimated intensities for nearly 50 exercises. If your favorite exercise doesn't appear in the list, you can add it quickly and easily. Measurements
As you begin to take control of your health, you may find that your body
begins to change. You may lose or gain weight, increase muscle tissue, decrease
fatty tissue, or lower your blood pressure. You may become more aware of
physiological changes, such as variations in body temperature or resting heart
rate. Life Form's Measurements page provides an easy way to track data relating
to your body's shape, size, and form. Using the items in the Measurements list,
you can keep a record of changes in your height and weight and even monitor
fluctuations in your shirt or dress size.Chemistry
In an effort to take control of their health, millions of Americans are
paying close attention to the levels of certain chemicals in their bodies. Some
track only blood cholesterol, while others carefully monitor iron, potassium,
protein, and glucose levels in both their blood and urine. Periodic tests of
blood and urine can prove a valuable tool in monitoring and treating conditions
such as diabetes, anemia, and heart disease. Life Form's Chemistry page provides
an easy way to track the results of your blood and urine tests. By copying the
figures from your lab report into the appropriate items, you can create an
accurate record of your body's chemistry. You can use this record to gain a
better understanding of how your body works and to keep your medical providers
informed of changes in your health.
Ratings
The way you feel on any given day is the result of a wide variety of
factors. Environmental conditions, physical symptoms, and psychological factors
can all work together to determine whether you are happy or sad, tired or
energetic. Life Form's Ratings page lets you track factors affecting your health
and well-being so you can better understand the relationships between them. You
can choose from the symptoms, habits, behaviors, and feelings included in the
Ratings list or add your own. If you suffer from conditions such as migraines
or ulcers, this is a great place to track them. After you track them for a
while, you can see how they interact with your foods, your exercise, and even
one another.
History
The History page lets you record a wide variety of information relating to
your family's medical history. Presented in the form of a journal, it gives you
a simple way to track doctor and dentist appointments, hospitalizations,
illnesses, vaccinations, screening tests, medications, injuries, therapy, and
any other information you believe important to your medical history. You can use
the history you create to consult with your medical providers, seek second
opinions, and track the course of your family members' individual medical
conditions and treatments.
Graphs
The information you record on Life Form's various pages can reveal important
facts about you and your health. The Graphs page makes it easy to create graphs
and reports that include data from different pages, so you can look for trends
and view your progress.Download Life Form and start tracking your health |
