Moving into Management

-
Have you received a promotion at your job? The promotion you've been dreaming of to become one of the managers at the facility you have been working in? Shifting into a management position requires a new level of responsibility that may cause you to be anxious or uncertain. But no worries, there are simple things to remember to help boost your confidence and self esteem when moving into management! It all begins with knowing your personality. Managers have an inclination of wanting to improve faulty processes and being able to deal with complex situations. Knowing your personality will help you notice what your strengths are and what skills you can improve on during your journey. All managers have a certain type of leadership skill, but by understanding your personality type, you can further learn your management style and its areas for growth. The second tip to a smooth transition is to focus on your leadership skills. Leadership skills aren't only personal skills, but interpersonal skills. This depends on how you will interact with your employees and how well they respond to you. Being involved outside of work will enhance your leadership roles. This could be anything with volunteering at a food bank and learning to work with people of different backgrounds or even developing different events within church groups.

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...
