Iā€™m a big advocate of ā€˜Sharing is Caringā€™, so to stay in my integrity Iā€™m sharing this brilliant and super valuable FREE tool/app.

Created by Alicia of Escaping The Blah

Iā€™m grateful that we are living in a day and time, that as a society we are more health-conscious, and this app falls in line with the current narrative.

As we strive for wellness and longevity for our lives, this app has revealed itself to be a real life game-changer. This revolutionary app that I speak of is called ā€œYukaā€ and it shines its light for guidance and support. That is also convenient due to it being to hand in your mobile phone. Offering clarity for the jargon and complexities of product labels and transparency for the health implications of products and foods they consume daily, though lacking vital information about them.

What is Yuka?

Yuka is a barcode scanner for food and personal care products. Its premise is to scan, analyse, and reveal. Once you scan an item, Yuka gives you immediate access to an extensive database and evaluates products based on their nutritional value/quality, any presence of harmful additive and organic nature and then giving you an easy to read and understand score. This then helps you to make conscious decisions that are aligned with your health goals.

Yuka breaks down the nutritional content of food items, highlighting beneficial ingredients whilst also warning against high sugar, fat, and artificial additives.

Yuka can identify potential health hazards hidden in plain sight, empowering us to choose safer alternatives and reducing the risk of adopting any long-term health issues.

Yuka favours products that have a minimal impact on the environment. Supporting our individual health and also the planetā€™s health.

This app is pure happinessā€¦ Once you scan your first item, youā€™ll be hooked and will then find yourself scanning every food and personal product with a barcode that you can get your hands on.

Yuka is empowering and totally free to download.

Happy scanning, enjoy!
