CNCK Helps Prevent Painful Migraines with Innovative App
Sufferers of chronic headaches and/or migraines know the difficulties of a grocery store trip. Certain ingredients, chemicals, and additives can trigger these painful attacks, making the task of food shopping tedious. Fortunately, ContentChecked Holdings, Inc. (OTC: CNCK) has developed an app that lets users know if the foods they’re putting into their carts contain risky ingredients. After scanning an item’s barcode, the MigraineChecked app will let the user know if any ingredients are migraine triggers. This app offers users a simple approach to preventing migraine headaches while making healthy choices.
According to the Migraine Research Foundation, over 10% of the world’s population suffers from migraines. More than 90% of these people cannot function properly during an attack, which results in school or work absences. In the United States alone, 36 million people suffer from the syndrome with 14 million people experiencing painful episodes each day. These numbers are hard to ignore, making the MigraineChecked app a valuable tool for prevention.
The whole premise of MigraineChecked is to alert the user of foods containing migraine-causing ingredients. Some of these ingredients are hard to identify; that’s when the app steps in. Processed foods with monosodium glutamate (MSG), artificial sweeteners, nitrates, nitrites, and flavor enhancers are known to cause the syndrome. Even chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, peanuts, and cheeses containing tyramine are common triggers. The app will immediately alert the user if any of these pesky potential elements are present in a food item.
ContentChecked aims to arm consumers with nutritional data that can help them make informed grocery choices for their specific dietary needs while promoting a healthy lifestyle. The app and website also offer delicious recipes with customizable dietary restrictions to suit everyone’s tastes. These recipes include appetizers, desserts, beverages, and entrees. The company will continue developing more apps, such as VeganChecked, in order to reach a wider audience.
