 NU #4   iPLATE

I still have a hang up with the past holidays.  It's good to see old friends and meet new ones.  There were several parties I had to attend after office hours and that's not just for a day!  There were several reunions too!   What's the common denominator in all these gatherings?  FOOD & DRINKS!  I am sure I was not the only one in that predicament.  Much as I would like to be within my ideal body weight, it is so difficult to do so during holidays.  No one wants to hurt any host's feelings by not partaking of the elaborate food preparations!  And hey, food's great especially when we're with friends and family talking about good old times!  The only problem is that most of us do not have the time to go to the gym because of our schedules and we're too tired by the time we get home.  Although there are weekends, that's not really enough exercise after binging on food for several days.  Most of us just eat up and enjoy and have our medical check-ups after the holidays only to find out that we have to maintain several medications.

What if someone invents a plate equipped with sensors to measure the number of calories and nutritional facts of the food we put on the iPLATE (intelligent plate) then calculate our lipid profile and project how much the food we are to eat will influence our present profile?  All these will be displayed as soon as we put the food we want and by pressing a button the plate will display how far or how near we are from the normal range.  It would be great if we can input our height and weight so it can also calculate our BMI (body mass index).  This kind of intelligent plate will be a constant reminder while we are eating our hearts out and how much we can still take!  This will likewise help those who are already afflicted with medical problems watch what they eat.  It will be easier to monitor the amount and kind of food we need.  This will really be a big help to stay healthy.   4
