How The MBTI Can Help You Build A Stronger Company

-
The myers briggs type indictor (MBTI) can be utilized by clinical nutrition managers (CNM) in many different ways. When organizing teams the results can be used to group people together who have similar personality types. It can also help group people together based on their strengths and weakness's. Understanding team members personalities allows CNMs to communicate with their employees. MBTI can also be used to motivate employees because not all motivation techniques work the same with everyone. When CMNs understand how their employees perceive and process information it will help create less conflict. They can also use it when hiring a new person to the team. CNMs will be able to develop a nutrition team that not only understands the nutrition care process but they also can work together to benefit patients/clients. 

In addition the MBTI can also be used as a tool for CNMs to improve their leadership styles. The results can pin-point weak areas in their personalities that they can focus on to improve. Improving weak areas enables CNMs to become well-rounded leaders. Additionally by becoming more self-aware of how they operate they will be able to create a leadership culture that works for their personality.

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
