I am a satisfied user of the Galaxy Watch and have been impressed with the innovative health features, particularly the new antioxidant index, AGE index, and vascular load measurements. These tools have provided valuable insights into my wellness, and I appreciate the effort to expand health monitoring capabilities. However, I’ve noticed that the current metrics seem tailored toward diets rich in fruits and vegetables, which may not fully reflect the health status of individuals following a carnivore diet, like myself.
Anecdotally, I’ve thrived on a carnivore diet—consisting primarily of meat, organs, and fat—for some time, experiencing no adverse symptoms such as fatigue or inflammation, despite a low antioxidant index reading (e.g., 34, as measured recently). This suggests that the absence of plant-based antioxidants might not be detrimental in this dietary context, possibly due to reduced oxidative stress from eliminating processed carbs and sugars. Logically, if the diet minimizes sources of free radicals, the body’s endogenous antioxidant systems or those from animal foods (like coenzyme Q10 and carnosine) might suffice, challenging the assumption that low carotenoid levels always indicate poor health.
Given this, I propose that Samsung consider adapting or expanding these metrics to better accommodate diverse dietary lifestyles, including the carnivore diet. For instance, the antioxidant index might benefit from a calibration option that accounts for non-plant-based antioxidant sources or lifestyle factors reducing oxidative stress. Additionally, the AGE index and vascular load could provide more nuanced insights if tailored to reflect the metabolic profiles of carnivore dieters, who often report stable energy and cardiovascular health.
To support this, I suggest Samsung initiate a data collection project targeting carnivore diet users. By recording metrics like antioxidant levels, AGE index, and vascular load from this group over time, you could gather valuable data to understand the diet’s effects—both potential benefits and risks. This could enhance the accuracy of your health algorithms, benefit a growing community of carnivore dieters, and position Samsung as a leader in personalized health technology. I’d be willing to participate and provide regular feedback to help with this effort.
Thank you for considering this feedback. I look forward to seeing how Samsung continues to innovate in health monitoring for all dietary preferences.
