Traits
Our Personality is  made up of large number of Traits like threads that make cloth. Traits can be defined as habitual patterns of behaviour, thought, and emotion.  Everybody are good in some traits, not so good in some and many in between.  Success, happiness, satisfaction, peace etc,  in your personal life, relationships, career etc depend on how you perform using these traits. Measuring, how good you are in the traits tells, what are your Strengths and Weaknesses and how well you are performing. When you attempt to find, how you fair in a particular trait, you have to either depend on the opinion of others or family, which introduces unpleasant issues like bias, judgement and may even affect your precious relationship.  This  application aims to help you self assess, how you fair in each of these traits. Trait app provides tests to measure over 600 traits.

Glycemic Load - The Sign board to smart Diet

You take two foods with same carb count, but blood Glucose response they give is different.  So Additional knowledge about food intake is required and how much it increases Blood Glucose is more important. And Here comes Glycemic Load, the sign board  to Smart Diet
History
Foods with carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream tend to have a high GI. Foods with carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, tend to have a low GI. The concept was developed by Dr. David J. Jenkins and colleagues. The GI was invented in 1981 by Dr Thomas Wolever and Dr David Jenkins at the University of Toronto and is a measure of how quickly a food containing 25 or 50 grams of carbohydrate raises blood-glucose levels. Because some foods typically have a low carbohydrate content, Harvard researchers created the GL, which takes into account the amount of carbohydrates in a given serving of a food and so provides a more useful measure.

What is Glycemic Index
The GI represents the total rise in a person's blood sugar level following consumption of the food. The glycemic index or glycaemic index (GI) is a number associated with a particular type of food that indicates the food's effect on a person's blood glucose (also called blood sugar) level. The number typically ranges between 50 and 100, where 100 represents the standard, an equivalent amount of pure glucose.

What is Glycemic Load
The glycemic load (GL) of food is a number that estimates how much the food will raise a person's blood glucose level after eating it. One unit of glycemic load approximates the effect of consuming one gram of glucose.  Glycemic load accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food and how much each gram of carbohydrate in the food raises blood glucose levels. Glycemic load is based on the glycemic index (GI), and is defined as the grams of available carbohydrate in the food times the food's GI.

How GI is Determined
The glycemic index of a food is defined as the incremental area under the two-hour blood glucose response curve (AUC) following a 12-hour fast and ingestion of a food with a certain quantity of available carbohydrate (usually 50 g). The AUC of the test food is divided by the AUC of the standard (either glucose or white bread, giving two different definitions) and multiplied by 100. The average GI value is calculated from data collected in 10 human subjects. Both the standard and test food must contain an equal amount of available carbohydrate. The result gives a relative ranking for each tested food.

Weight control
Recent animal research provides compelling evidence that high-GI carbohydrate is associated with increased risk of obesity. In one study, male rats were split into high- and low-GI groups over 18 weeks while mean body weight was maintained. Rats fed the high-GI diet were 71% fatter and had 8% less lean body mass than the low-GI group. Post-meal glycemia and insulin levels were significantly higher, and plasma triglycerides were threefold greater in the high-GI-fed rats. Furthermore, pancreatic islet cells suffered "severely disorganized architecture and extensive fibrosis.". So GI  significance in Weight and Obesity Control is well established.

Other Effects
Recent scientific evidence have shown that individuals who followed a low-GI diet over many years were at a significantly lower risk for developing both type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and age-related muscular degeneration than others.

In the past, postprandial hyperglycemia has been considered a risk factor associated mainly with diabetes. However, more recent evidence shows that it also presents an increased risk for atherosclerosis in the non-diabetic population.

High GI diets,  high blood-sugar levels more generally, and diabetes are related to kidney disease as well.

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that age-related adult muscular degeneration (AMD), which leads to blindness, is 42% higher among people with a high-GI diet, and concluded that eating a lower-GI diet would eliminate 20% of AMD cases.

Accuracy
Glycemic index charts often give only one value per food, but variations are possible due to variety of reasons:
  1. Ripeness (riper fruits contain more sugars increasing GI)
  2. Cooking methods (the more cooked, or over cooked, a food the more its cellular structure is broken with a tendency for it to digest quickly and raise GI more)
  3. Processing (e.g., flour has a higher GI than the whole grain from which it is ground as grinding breaks the grain's protective layers).
  4. Length of Storage
  5. Individual Response Glycemic response is different from one person to another, and also in the same person from day to day, depending on blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and other factors
  6. Time Period Most of the values on the glycemic index do not show the impact on glucose levels after two hours. Some people with diabetes may have elevated levels after four hours
Conclusion
It makes more sense to track Glycemic Load than, just do carb counting or Calorie Intake. A diabetic will be able to better manage the Food intake and hence greater control  over Blood Glucose.
Mobile Application
Mobile Application with Glycemic Load Database saves you from carrying a catalog of foods with Glycemic Load or Glycemic Index Everywhere. It also helps in tracking other parameters and analyze the Data in terms of list or chart and spot trends or spikes.  Diabetes App with Preloaded Glycemic Food Database is  - Diabetiga Diabetes GL Track.  Diabetiga provides tools to Record and Track Food  intake, Glucose Readings,  Insulin or Medication doses, Pressure, Lab Results. Diabetiga Also Provides Comprehensive list of Diabetic Calculations. Diabetiga GL is available on Google Playhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kyaliapps.Diabetiga3

Development Milestones
Child development milestones are provided here from birth to six years old. A child's growth is a complex and continuous process. They should be able to do certain things at certain ages. These are called developmental milestones. As a parent, it is important to realize that no two children develop at the same rate. It is, therefore, futile to worry that the child next door can do this and that, while ones own child cannot. At the ages noted for different activities, the child should be observed for some time.
If at the end of a few months he is still not doing a particular activity, a pediatrician must be consulted. This takes into account the fact that the child may be acting differently because The Baby is sick or upset. Sometimes the child may develop more slowly in certain areas than other children of the same age while his other activities may be ahead of other children. Forcing a child to learn to walk when The Baby is not ready does not help.


APGAR score
The very first test given to your newborn Apgar score occurs right after your baby's birth in the delivery or birthing room. The test was designed to quickly evaluate a newborn's physical condition after delivery and to determine any immediate need for extra medical or emergency care. Although the Apgar score was developed in 1952 by an anesthesiologist named Virginia Apgar, you may have also heard it referred to as an acronym for: Activity, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance, and Respiration.
The Apgar test is usually given to your baby twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth. Rarely, if there are concerns about the baby's condition and the first two scores are low, the t
Scores obtainable are between 10 and 0, with 10 being the highest possible score.

Zodiac
Zodiac sign is given here ,with ruling planet and personality traits based on solar sign.

Diabetes Ganaka

Having diabetes, especially if you take insulin, can mean dealing with lots of numbers on a daily basis — from blood glucose level to grams of carbohydrate, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and correction factors. These numbers are often crucial to maintaining blood glucose control and, in the long run, preventing diabetic complications. But on a day-to-day basis, all these numbers might seem pesky or even overwhelming — especially if you’re not naturally good at math. Diabetes Ganaka is the tool to help in calculations for better Diabetes Management.

Diabetes Ganaka 1.2

Obesity
The simple tools provide all the parameters like BMI, BMR, Body Frame Type, Ideal weight, Body Fat percentage, Daily Calorie needs and Total body water . It also gives the  Weight category,to which you belong, like underweight, Super Fit, Athlete, Fit, Marginal over Weight, Over Weight, Obese.
In the Input screen  , You have to enter the following.
  • Height in centimeters
  • Weight in Kilograms
  • Age in Years
  • Sex : Male/Female
  • Elbow Measurement
  • Life Style : Sedentary / Light Active/ Light Exercise / Hard Exercise /Athlete.
Body Frame Type
Between the 1950s and 1980s, frame size was considered to be a key factor in determining the best weight for an individual. Your body frame size is basically the size and density of your bone structure. You are born with a certain structure and, for the most part, it cannot be changed, so a number of health care specialists believed it should be considered in determining a person’s ideal weight.There are 3 types of body frames: small, medium and large. Frame size is based on one of the following methods.
Easiest way to find the frame type is by following procedure. Put your pointer finger and thumb on your wrist, wrap it around, if they touch and overlap, you're small framed, if they just meet, you're medium framed and if they don't touch at all, you're large framed. But accuracy of this method is questioned.
So Elbow breadth method is used to determine the frame type. This method also takes the input of Height and gender to determine the Body Frame type. You can become fat or thin ,but your elbow breadth (which is more bone-skin, not  fat-muscle) remains same, compared to wrist measure which may be very difficult to measure especially if the person is above normal weight. Obesity Ganaka uses the elbow method to determine the type of body frame.

Glucose
Depending on HbA1c(Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c compound) value, the values are calculated and  provided using these following formulas:




Hidden Calorie
The Diabetes Ganaka takes the difference between the stated calories and the actual calories then divides it by four to yield grams. It then adds that to the carbohydrate grams listed on the label, giving you your total carbohydrate count. This formula is not perfect; however, it is a very close approximation.
The hidden carbohydrate, glycerin: There is a loophole in the FDA restrictions that allow manufacturers to leave glycerin off the labels of their products. The listed fiber count is sometimes higher than the "missing calories" difference between the numbers.


Note that this calculation will not help you if any of the "hidden" or missing calories are fat or protein; it assumes that all hidden/missing calories are carbs.




IMPORTANT: The 450/500 Rule is useful only for people with type 1 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes usually produce some insulin naturally, in addition to the insulin they inject, so a total daily insulin dose cannot be calculated reliably.



Calcium metabolism or calcium homeostasis is the mechanism by which the body maintains adequate calcium levels. Derangement of this mechanism lead to hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia, which both can have important consequences for health.

Obesity Ganaka and Fitga

The right weight for any individual is the subject of much debate between the fashion industry, feminists and health care practitioners. Yet, the truth is far more complex. While the consequences of not having proper weight or excessive fat is well known. As one progresses towards to ideal body, one needs to measure the progress in order to do the course corrections. But it is bewildering to know the charts or use formulas and use it on a regular basis to know your health status. Obesity Ganaka provides all the health parameters needed in your hands in your mobile with least effort.




Fitga 2.2 (Android)
Fitga In addition to all the obesity Ganaka Calculations have profile storing capability , inwhich you can add any number of profiles and store their parameters, so when you want calculate you can load the parameters from the profiles database and just add weight to determine your parameters. Fitga also has option to store weight according to date. You can add current weight to your database and view all the weights saved.

Elbow Measurement
  1. Extend your arm in front of your body, bend your elbow at a ninety degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body.
  2. Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body.
  3. Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, then measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure or calipers.

    Obesity Ganaka calculates..

    BMI

     The Body Mass Index is a useful way of establishing whether your weight is within a healthy range.  In order to calculate your BMI, you need to know how tall you are(height in cm)  and your weight(in kg). If you are already pregnant, enter your weight before you conceived.
    Please note: this BMI calculator is designed for adults only. It cannot be used to calculate a child's BMI. A BMI reading between 18.6 and 24.9 is normally considered healthy. BMI over 25 is considered over weight and when the index is over 30 it is considered obese. BMI below 18 is considered under weight. BMI calculation is based on a formula by  Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet.

    Ideal Weight

    Ideal Body Weight refers to the desired weight a person of a given height and body frame should have in order to be healthy. Maintaining an ideal body weight, i.e., a body weight just right for your height and body frame, is key to living a healthy and disease free life. An ideal body weight greatly reduce the chances of diseases like heart diseases, diabetes etc. In the past, many fitness books would publish a chart of ideal weight. Often, the figures would list height corresponding to weight. But no more searching , you can get your Ideal weight in your hand using Obesity Ganaka.

    Body Frame Type 
    Between the 1950s and 1980s, frame size was considered to be a key factor in determining the best weight for an individual. Your body frame size is basically the size and density of your bone structure. You are born with a certain structure and, for the most part, it cannot be changed, so a number of health care specialists believed it should be considered in determining a person’s ideal weight.There are 3 types of body frames: small, medium and large. Frame size is based on one of the following methods.

    Easiest way to find the frame type is by following procedure. Put your pointer finger and thumb on your wrist, wrap it around, if they touch and overlap, you're small framed, if they just meet, you're medium framed and if they don't touch at all, you're large framed. But accuracy of this method is questioned.

    So Elbow breadth method is used to determine the frame type. This method also takes the input of Height and gender to determine the Body Frame type. You can become fat or thin ,but your elbow breadth (which is more bone-skin, not  fat-muscle) remains same, compared to wrist measure which may be very difficult to measure especially if the person is above normal weight. Obesity Ganaka uses the elbow method to determine the type of body frame.

    Body Fat Percentage
    Arguably, body fat percentage is the superior gauge of an individual's fitness level, as it is the only body measurement which directly calculates the particular individual's body composition without regard to the individual's height or weight. Essential fat means that level below which physical and physiological health would be negatively affected. In Obesity Ganaka body fat is measured using Watson Formula. Approximate value of Excess Body fat in the form of Kg is given.


    BMR
    Basal metabolic rate (BMR), is the minimum calorific requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. BMR decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass. BMR can be responsible for burning up to 70% of the total calories expended, but this figure varies due to different factors. Calories are burned by bodily processes such as respiration, the pumping of blood around the body and maintenance of body temperature. Obviously the body will burn more calories on top of those burned due to BMR. Obesity Ganaka gives the basic requirement for you based on Gender, Height,Weight and Age using Harris Benedict equation
      
    Daily Calorie Needs 
    Obesity Ganaka gives the basic recommended calorie intake  requirement based on your lifestyle and gender to
    Maintain Weight
    Lose Weight
    Gain Weight


    Total Water in your body
    In medicine, body water is all of the water content of the human body. A significant fraction of the human body is water. Gutyon's Textbook of Medical Physiology states that "the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 liters, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of water in the body". Obesity Ganaka provides the percentage of water  in your body using Watson formula for Adults and Mellits-Cheek formula for kids.

    Your Weight in various planets, Sun and Moon
    So you think that you are too light or too heavy for earth, think about another planet. Each Planet size is different , so is the specific gravity , and so is the gravitational pull and so does the weight. You want to know, how much you will weigh  in each planet in solar system as well as the moon and Sun. Use  Obesity Ganaka to know the weight, it may lift your spirits and inspire you  to reach your weight,  if u were to be on moon or any other planet of your choice.


    Your  Age in Various Planets.
     Earth takes a year (365 days) to go around the sun. So you are so many years old . What if the earth takes shorter period or longer period to go around the sun. The year length will also change, so does your age too. Want to know how old you are in these planets , tap into Obesity Ganaka.
    Warning
    The Obesity Ganaka is a general educational tool only  and should not be considered as substitute for medical advice. Please do not reach any conclusions based on  these results.. Consult your doctor before making any changes in your dietary habits.
