I’m going to something I usually don’t

Vent

I work I dietary in a nursing and rehab place.

Came to work today and noticed the kitchen were I worked was suspiciously empty of coworkers for 2nd shift. My boss only scheduled me and the cook until 3. We are supposed to prepare stuff for today and tomorrow for almost 200 people. My boss was able to get someone in on his day off, I’m pretty sir she tricked him. That was today. We barely made it through Saturday and Sunday.

I know we don’t have enough people to regularly fill all our positions, the kitchen has high turnover over. it’s minimum wage, we are regularly disrespected, (I know the floors are also short but that’s not our fault) even if we had enough staff they often don’t get scheduled. That doesn’t encourage people to stay.

Still only scheduling 2 people? What were we supposed to do if no one helped? We need 4 people to run tray line. This isn’t even unusual. She probably wouldn’t have stayed, she almost never does. She takes her vacations and almost never comes in on her days off. She’s still super stressed, her job used to be done by 3 people. But so are we.

My coworkers have gone to hr. They say it’s fine because we make do and ignore our complaints. (I’m told They’ve also ignored sexual harassment).

I’m a part of the union but they seem to be ok with it. They’ve actually told dietary staff we don’t need a raise because nurses can do our job but we can’t do theirs. (The nurses often get raises,we don’t even though corporate has increased our workload)I admit I’ve never been to a meeting but they don’t exactly advertise when and where they are.

Can they do their jobs(when they show up) AND ours? Their boss won’t schedule enough people to do that, they don’t even do that now.

The one thing I love and hate about dietary restrictions, is that you have to experiment with new dishes, ingredients and techniques. I love being able to taste something new.

But I HATE that I gotta buy this one ingredient that I don't know how to use and I only know how to use it for this ONE recipe, and even if I find another recipe, that recipe will likely have 5 other ingredients where I'm like "..derp derp what to do with it?????" and now I got a pantry of all sorts of ingredients that are just sitting there because I can barely find recipes that incorporate a majority of them.

PSA: You can allergic to certain ingredients of your mineral or vitamin supplements. Better choose ones with minimum ingredients and ones that are least sus; liquid supples are quite a good solution ;) but you have to mind they often contain oils

Matcha - Perfect for Your Everyday Health and Wellness

Perfect for your everyday Health and Wellness with matcha .Green tea powder called matcha tea is high in antioxidants. For traditional green tea, the leaves are steeped in boiling water before being discarded. The dried leaves are really ground into a powder when using matcha, which is then added to the tea and consumed.The tea is thought to be the most aromatic type of green tea because of its distinctive, non-bitter flavour and vivid green colour.

Benefits of Matcha for Health?

Many individuals are switching to matcha, a caffeinated substitute well known for its brilliant colour, as more and more people attempt to reduce their consumption of coffee. It's a form of green tea, but it's not the hot water-infused loose-leaf variety. A powder called matcha is created by grinding up green tea leaves. The advantages of matcha are much greater than those of the traditional type since it contains a larger concentration of nutrients.

It's packed with vitamins and antioxidants: Both catechins and polyphenols, another class of antioxidant found in green tea, are present. Jenna Gorham, RD, dietitian and founder of the RD Link, says that matcha powder provides a megadose of these potent antioxidants, which can help lessen cell damage and prevent chronic disease.

It might enhance the radiance on your skin:If you have skin issues, Miyashita advises switching to matcha for a week rather than coffee. According to a 2017 study that was published in the journal Nutrients, the vitamin C in matcha boosts the formation of collagen when consumed. Additionally, a study published in the journal Advances in Skin & Wound Care suggests that vitamin B may aid in the promotion of healthy skin cell turnover.

It can make your bones stronger: Most individuals don't consider actively taking steps to strengthen their bones, yet doing so is crucial for health and mobility, especially as you age. By lowering the oxidative stress that causes inflammation in the bones, polyphenols, the antioxidant-rich substances in green tea, may increase bone mineral density (i.e., how solid your bones are). According to a number of earlier research, this can subsequently reduce your risk of getting osteoporosis.

Compared to a cup of coffee or boiled tea, it may be more filling: Due to its potent, earthy flavour, matcha powder is most frequently blended and served with milk or a non-dairy substitute, such as almond or oat milk. The milk's additional calories make the beverage more filling than your typical espresso-based latte.

It might safeguard your brain: A tiny study from 2020 that was published in the journal Nutrients suggests that drinking matcha every day may help halt cognitive decline. That's because matcha contains plenty of lutein and vitamin K, both of which have been linked to enhanced cognitive abilities including attention and memory.

Matcha tea has many health advantages, excess consumption may have negative effects.

Like most things, drinking too much matcha tea can be harmful to your health. Excessive matcha use may have negative side effects such as headaches, sleeplessness, and upset stomach. Matcha also includes a lot of caffeine, so consuming too much of it may also cause jitteriness and other caffeine-related adverse effects, such as a faster heartbeat. It is usually advised to consume food and beverages in moderation.

How can Matcha be used?

Matcha has several applications, some of which are as follows:

Drinking: Matcha is typically taken as a tea, which is the most popular way to consume it. To make a frothy and tasty beverage, the powder is customarily whisked with hot water.

Cooking and baking: Matcha powder may also be used in cooking and baking to give desserts and savoury foods a distinctive green tea flavour. It's frequently used in baked products including cakes, cookies, and bread as well as smoothies, matcha ice cream, and other baked goods.

Due to its high antioxidant content, which can help shield the skin from free radical damage, matcha powder is also utilised in various cosmetics and skincare products.

Supplements: Matcha powder is also offered in capsules, pills, and powdered supplements.

Matcha is traditionally used in Japan's traditional tea ceremony, where it is regarded as a sign of deference, friendliness, and harmony.

Due to the calming effects of the L-Theanine, some people use matcha as a way to improve their yoga and meditation practices.

Does matcha have caffeine?

Yes, caffeine is present in matcha. The Camellia sinensis plant, which also yields green, black, and oolong tea, is the source of the leaves used to manufacture matcha. Matcha contains more caffeine than other types of tea because the leaves are grown and processed specifically for this purpose.

Matcha's caffeine concentration varies depending on the powder's quality, although it is typically thought to be higher than that of other kinds of tea. Matcha typically includes 35 mg of caffeine per serving, or about the same as one cup of coffee. According to some research, matcha has up to three times as much caffeine as a typical cup of green tea.

Method for making Matcha?

Here is a  recipe for classic matcha tea:

Ingredients:

Matcha powder, 1 teaspoon

2 ounces (or 60 ml) of hot (between 175 and 180 °F) water

Optional: 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or sugar (if desired)

Instructions:

To get rid of any lumps, sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer.

Matcha powder, hot water, and sugar or honey (if used) should be whisked together in a small bowl until foamy.

Matcha mixture should be whisked in a "W" motion with a bamboo whisk while holding the bowl with one hand until a thick froth has formed on the tea's surface.

You can use a little electric whisk or a small metal whisk if you don't have a bamboo whisk.

The tea is ready to be served once it has frothed up and been thoroughly blended. Take some time to savour the distinct flavour and scent of your matcha tea.

This is thoughtful and well-put, and I say this as a vegetarian and 90% vegan. I’d have considerably less issue with eating *small* amounts of meat, or consuming dairy products, from animals living happy, well-husbanded lives in natural surroundings, with every part of their bodies being used, and part of those lives consisting of being utilised properly within the environment. I probably wouldn’t return to eating meat myself, but that *is* a personal choice.

Factory farming and abattoirs *need* to be abolished. They are enormously dangerous to our immune health (the bulk of antibiotic resistance comes from their habitual use in the feed of animals living in horrifying conditions); they are devastating environmentally, and they are cruelty on a mass scale almost beyond my ability to articulate.

Disclaimer these events take place over a couple months. The cook one is most recent

Our cook got called up to 2B because a chicken didn’t look cooked all the way.

I get that under cooked chicken can be dangerous so I understand why they let her know.

I also get that you can tell someone without three people cornering them and screaming at them in front of residents and their families.

Just take them aside, hand them the plate, tell them what’s wrong. Just 1 person, Without raising your voice. It’s not that complicated.

The cook doesn’t want to be a cook anymore because of things like this but they won’t let her drop down because there’s no replacement.

There is some nursing staff that are understanding and work with us but others not so much. Those others have no right to take it out on the non nursing staff.

They don’t have to call us 4 times in an hour to ask us the same question, the answer isn’t going to change no matter how irritated they get. (I assume they were being pressured by the resident)

They don’t have to snap at me for giving a person a sandwich they KNEW the resident couldn’t have but just because they were “tolerating “ it at the time. But some of them will gang up on the cook if they accidentally cook something wrong.

They might snap at us if we even look to see if a cart is ready.

Not to say dietary people don’t snap too.

Someone I know who worked at the desk on one of the floors was afraid to call the kitchen because someone was rude to her. Probably happens a lot given the personality of some of my coworkers.

I’ve gotten pretty frustrated it showed.. like when the floors wouldn’t stop calling down long enough for me to finish their orders and a caller got an attitude with me because they were tired of waiting. It was around 4 out of the 6ish orders I had to make.

The most heartbreaking moment in my life was how when I was a college freshman, I promised myself "I will get a waffle iron when I have my shit together!", 7 shitty apartments and 14 years later, I finally got my shit together, got a waffle iron, only for the doctor, 6 months down the road, to be like, "you shouldn't eat bread anymore."

My life lesson to you....

Don't wait to get the kitchen appliance that will make your favorite food. Because some medical bullshit might come your way if you wait.

And to spite my doctor....I am gonna find a waffle recipe that I can eat. I waited 14 fucking years to make waffles at home for the rest of my life and I ain't tossing this fucking iron. So if any of you gluten free folks know how to make a delicious, sweet, fluffy, CW-ispy waffle, without wheat, almond, chickpea or pea flour, please let me know!!

I'm going to have my waffles dammit!!!

Balanced Diet: Understanding the Impact of Different Dietary Fats

Healthy fats are ones that benefit the body by doing things like controlling inflammation and maintaining cells

Like protein and carbs, fats are part of a balanced diet. There are different types of dietary fat, including healthy fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The focus is on reducing LDL cholesterol levels, sustaining energy levels, and understanding different types of dietary fats.
