Editorial policy
Dalia Health publishes health guides that answer common questions about heart rate, recovery, nutrition and weight in plain language. These are health topics, where a wrong answer can hurt someone, so this page sets out how the guides are made and how to tell us when one is wrong.
Last updated October 15, 2026.
Who writes the guides
Guides are written by the Dalia Health team and carry the byline of Eashan Vagish, the founder of Dalia Health, who approves every guide before it is published.
How we use AI
We use AI writing tools to help research, draft and edit the guides. A person then checks every factual claim against the source it cites, and the guide is published only after that person approves it. Drafts that have not been approved are never shown to the public or to search engines.
How we source
- Every factual claim links to its source. We prefer peer-reviewed research and public health bodies such as the NIH, CDC and WHO, and the guidelines of major medical societies.
- Numbers are quoted as the source states them, with their units.
- If we cannot find a source for a claim, we cut the claim.
- Where the evidence is disputed or still emerging, the guide says so.
- Each guide lists its sources at the end.
Medical review
We do not yet have a medical reviewer. When a clinician joins, their name, credentials and a link to a public profile will appear on each guide they review and on this page. Until then, no guide is described as medically reviewed.
Keeping guides current
Every guide shows the date it was last reviewed. We re-review each guide at least once a year, and sooner when a guideline it relies on changes. A revised guide goes through the same checks and approval as a new one before it replaces the live version.
Health information, not medical advice
The guides are general education. They do not give advice for any individual, do not give dosing advice for any medicine, and are not a substitute for a doctor. Calculators show their formula and their limits, and say when to talk to a clinician.
Independence and disclosure
- We do not publish sponsored content, and no one pays to be covered or ranked in a guide.
- Dalia is our own product. When a guide mentions Dalia, it says that we make it, and a guide that compares apps discloses that Dalia is ours.
Corrections
If you find an error, email info@daliahealth.com with the guide's address and what you think is wrong. We check every report against the sources. When a published guide changes because something in it was wrong, we fix it, update its date and record the correction below.
Corrections log
- October 17, 2026: How many calories should I eat to lose weight?. This guide gave an unsourced 1,500-calorie daily floor for men. That number came from no source we could verify; the guide now follows its cited sources and matches the 1,200-calorie floor the Dalia app uses for everyone.
- October 17, 2026: The best calorie tracking apps, compared on six criteria. The comparison stated prices and accuracy figures we could not verify on the apps' own pages (Lose It! about $40 a year, Cal AI about $30 a year, Cal AI 85 to 92% accurate) and old figures (MyFitnessPal 14M+ foods). Every price and feature now comes from each app's own page, checked October 15, 2026, and Dalia, our product, is no longer ranked.
- October 17, 2026: What is a good resting heart rate?. The children's resting heart rate table merged ages 1 to 10 into one band (70 to 130 bpm) that no source gives; it now shows MedlinePlus's ranges by age. We also removed an unsourced claim that resting heart rate often rises a day or two before illness.
- October 17, 2026: How apps calculate your biological age. This guide said VO2 max and blood pressure carry the most weight in Dalia Age; in Dalia's own method, VO2 max and HRV carry the most. It also called Dalia's method the framework 'behind clinical biological-age clocks'; it now says Dalia uses the published Klemera-Doubal method with approximate coefficients.
