Abstract

This project consists of the development of a contributory web application increase knowledge and understanding of the new informational landscape that is emerging on the Internet in relation to nutritional health. The goal of this application is to give peoples a web-based nutritionist advise and make their life easy. This is important because the push to modernize lifestyle peoples are not giving priority to their health and are facing health issues such as Weight gain, Obesity, and many more. We identified the sites most used by Indians to access nutrition information and conducted content analyses to identify the sources of this nutritional information as well as its quality by systematic comparison with the main guidelines published in the Indian Food Guide. We found that commercial websites accounted for 80% of visits and time spent on seeking health and nutrition information. which is a central component of the Indian Food Guide. On the positive side, inappropriate or incongruent advice about salt, coffee and alcohol intake was virtually non-existent and advice congruent with the guide was found three times more often than incongruent advice. Finally, the site offering the best advice was a non-commercial government-based site. This site differed from the commercial sites not so much in its ability to deliver the ‘right’ advice but more in its ability to exclude articles with poor and misleading advice on their sites. In order to use many of these services together, the web application was purpose-built using the well-documented and flexible web development framework, Pyramid, in conjunction with the templating system, along with the standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript programming languages.
