Prevention

For prevention without patient framing

Your doctor handed you a one-page PDF.
Velrae makes the grocery aisle match.

Mediterranean. DASH. MIND. The diet patterns your physician actually prescribes for cardiovascular risk, hypertension, and cognitive prevention — graded in your hand, in real time, against the products in front of you.

720mg = 48%of your daily DASH sodium target

One can of soup. Sodium gets headline treatment so you can decide in the aisle.

What Velrae actually grades for

Mediterranean. PREDIMED-aligned scoring. Extra-virgin olive oil versus blends, whole grains versus refined, nut and fish patterns, vegetable density.

DASH. Sodium budget made visible. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium positives credited. Aligned to NHLBI eating plan and AHA/ACC 2023 hypertension guidelines.

MIND. The Mediterranean-DASH hybrid for cognitive prevention. Berries, leafy greens, nuts, fish, olive oil — and what MIND specifically asks you to limit.

Goals layer. Five preventive goals you can stack: heart health, lower inflammation, brain and cognitive health, support metabolic health, build/maintain muscle.

Sodium gets headline treatment

What you’ll see in the app

Patterns tab + monthly summary

  • Scoring aligns with PREDIMED (Mediterranean) and DASH when you’ve chosen those plans. Sodium budget made visible per meal.
  • Patterns catches the slow drift — the rising sodium average, the creeping sugar — before it shows up on a number at your next physical.
  • Once a month, the app rolls your diary + scans into a clean summary your doctor can read in under two minutes.

Prevention without the patient framing. You’re not sick — you’re paying attention.

If you’re on DASH, sodium is the number that matters. Velrae shows it as a percentage of your daily target — not as a raw number buried in a nutrition panel.

The olive oil question, answered

Mediterranean isn’t a sticker. It’s a pattern. Velrae grades for what the PREDIMED trial actually tested — cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, real whole grains, nuts and legumes, fish, vegetables.
