Real Food for Thought and Practice

Food Handler Certification Course:

A Great and Exciting Industry 

Food. We all love it and some people love it so much that they desire to be part of the industry. Specialty dishes, menu creation, customer service, cuisine experimentation – it’s as exciting and fast-paced as work comes. Sadly, they have no idea how to enter the service industry to get started. However, there is a method: having a food handler certification can help you gain access to almost all food service roles. 

What’s Involved 

Many people think, “Come on…you really need a certification to handle food? Why?” While food service seems relatively simple, there are a lot of complexities involved. This includes how to transport and store food, temperature monitoring during cooking to ensure thorough safety for consumption, bacterial growth conditions, and so much more. The Food Handler’s Certificate covers all of these topics from food safety laws, food contamination preventions, to proper restaurant and food service premises maintenance. The course comes with testing to ensure students get a comprehensive understanding of food handling right from the onset of their food service career. 

Quick but Complete  

Some people think that to enter the food service industry, you can only start in a low-rung job in a restaurant washing dishes for ages before even getting a chance to handle or cook food. With the Food Handler’s certificate, students get a one-day course involving theory, practices, and understanding so that they can get that higher level of entrance potential into the food service industry without all of the traditional job stress. By the end of the day, you’ll have the knowledge to work with food right away.

Body and Soul: The Exciting and Introspective World of Ayurveda

When it comes to your health, you want the best for yourself: great doctors, personal trainers, and dietitian advice. You need the knowledge to keep yourself healthy and feel better. These days many people seek out holistic health resources to add to or improve on their existing practices. One of these, Ayurveda, is one of the most popular. Originating in India over three thousand years ago, citizens the world over often seek it out to help improve their day-to-day health. 

What is Ayurveda? 

A complementary health system, Ayurveda is based on the concept that great daily health is created through a balance of one’s three key physical and metaphysical characteristics: mind, body, and spirit. If you’re able to keep a balance, your health with be sustained. The study of Ayurveda focuses on maintaining that three-way balance over time. 

Breaking it Down

Ayurveda practitioners focus on five human elements: earth, water, fire, space, and air. To use the proper terminology, the Ayurveda combines those five elements into the proper doshas or life energies—Vata dosha [space and air], Kapha dosha [water and earth], and Pitta dosha [fire and water]. Each dosha controls certain aspects of the body’s health, such as Vata dosha dealing with basic body functions, Pitta dosha dealing with your digestion and body metabolism, and Kapha dosha covering your bodily strengths and immunity. 

Controlling the Chakras

Once you grasp the fundamentals of Ayurveda, you learn how to maintain the energy levels of the body. One key aspect of this is diet and cleansing the body of undigested food, better known as panchakarma. This leads to maintaining core energy or chakra levels. Your Ayurveda instructor assists with this with advice on diet, exercise, and meditation practices.
