Cura per oggi

Ogni giorno l’app sceglie qualche cibo e qualche attività dolce da fare o per muoverti, in base alla tua fase della vita e al punto del ciclo. Ogni proposta, e ogni motivo che dà, viene dalle fonti qui sotto. Usiamo solo ciò che dice una fonte e non aggiungiamo affermazioni nostre.

Informazioni generali, non consigli medici. Se hai una condizione, sei incinta o prendi farmaci, chiedi al tuo medico, all’ostetrica o al farmacista cosa è adatto a te.

Come vengono scelte

Ogni voce ha i propri motivi per ogni fase della vita e del ciclo, scritti a partire dalle sue fonti. L’app suggerisce una voce solo dove le sue fonti la sostengono.

Anche le cautele vengono dalle fonti

Quando una fonte indica un limite, per esempio in gravidanza, la voce riporta quella nota come un delicato «Con calma», nei termini della fonte stessa.

Soprattutto servizi sanitari e revisioni

43 delle 55 fonti sono indicazioni di servizi sanitari nazionali e organismi professionali; le altre sono revisioni sistematiche, studi e dati alimentari.

Citazioni nell’inglese originale

Le righe sotto «Cosa dice e cosa usiamo» sono citate da ogni fonte così come sono scritte, perché nulla cambi nella traduzione.
