• Chlorpyrifos: Pesticide tied to brain damage in children

  Not exactly what you describe, but there's Yuka for processed products (food and cosmetics). You scan a barcode and it gives you a score based on the product composition, it's quite helpful: https://yuka.io/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Nutrient insights through your grocery receipts

  I would have thought the same until I found yuka (https://yuka.io/en/) and saw that they make multi-millions per year. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• I love this deodorant for the safety of its ingredients, but 8g of it is locked in cage at the end after you’re finished pushing it up all the way, and it’s not cheap. I can’t believe I’m only noticing this now. This is like my 5th stick.

  There’s a couple really great apps for scanning your products. The one I use more is Yuka. It’s free, and cites scientific sources and descriptions of ingredients as well as recommends alternatives in a non-biased was (brands can’t pay them to promote their products) and there’re very transparent about where their funding comes from. There’s also the EWG.org website (they also have an app but I don’t like it as... Source: 6 months ago

• Yucca App scans your foods and personal products to protect you

  It's not good to use spray tan or any kind of makeup that has toxic ingredients. When I first started covering Vitligo with spray tan, I was using some of the worst products! I'm lucky I wasn't hurt. I found out about the Environemntal Work Group app and the Think Dirty app, but I was still getting products like body lotion, scented soaps etc that weren't good - even though they were reccomended by EWG and TD! ...

• Is Eco Styler really bad for hair?

  In the short term it’s probably fine. If you want to use “healthier” hair products, I’ve been using the Yuka app to find better products.you basically scan the barcode and it gives you a rating from bad-excellent on a 0-100 scale. It’s nice because it actually tells you what ingredients are bad and why. When I checked my clear eco-styler most of the ingredients are good (risk-free), but 3 were bad enough to get a...

• What's your #1 ADHD life hack?

  Not saying it works for everyone, but the system I have worked out for myself is strength training 3-5 days/week during my lunch break at work. I have an hour lunch, so I can usually work in about 30 min of exercise, and I eat at my desk after. I use fitbod to generate workouts for me. It's not perfect, but I can easily change the workout based on what I'm feeling. It also keeps track of your workouts and can post... Source: 11 months ago

• Fitness app review

  I've started using a new fitness app, Fitbod (https://fitbod.me/). I've only logged a couple workouts so far but am a pretty big fan of the app right away. My favorite thing is that I can set up multiple "gyms" in the app and define what each equipment has in it (my crappy station gym vs my decent home gym vs the local commercial gym I go to) and have it auto-generate workouts for me. It's smart enough to know... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ottawa personal trainer/fitness coach

  Now I workout at home and I use Fitbod that’s almost like a virtual personal trainer. You could try the free trial while you find a trainer. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you need a trainer when hitting the gym?

  I really liked FitBod. It's $79.99/year. You can select the equipment available to you, and the app will generate the relevant workouts, adapting over time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: People who strength train from home can you describe your journey?

  For what it’s worth, I’ll mention what works for me. I have no interest in any companies or products mentioned below other than using them and finding them useful. I’ve weight-trained for decades and switched up my routine during the pandemic. I have only a small room available at home for this, which I also use as an office and music studio. So, not a lot of space. I bought a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552s... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
