August 31, Nutritionist’s Day is celebrated in Brazil. The date was instituted in honor of the anniversary of the creation of the Brazilian Association of Nutritionists in 1949. Being a day to celebrate the importance of the work performed by this professional and to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating in all phases of life.
Research indicates that 80% of Brazilians feed the wrong way, but poor diet is a problem that affects several countries around the world. A deficient diet of nutrients, vitamins and fundamental proteins can cause various diseases, in addition to causing a low in immunity, leaving the body susceptible to the action of viruses, bacteria and other numerous harmful agents to the human body.
Vegetables are cholesterol-free, rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and are sources of antioxidant substances
However, with increased disclosure of the importance of healthy eating, gradually people have become more concerned about the type of food they have consumed, their origin and quality. Organic foods and companies that care about providing food with transparency from the origin of their raw materials to the process in factories, are increasingly gaining the trust and preference of consumers.
Hygiene and protection throughout the food process
The use of latex gloves for the food area requires a lot of attention and care, because if improperly performed can cause contamination of food as much as the non-use of this protective equipment.
Ensuring the integrity of gloves is critical, as any accidental hole or tear that goes unnoticed is capable of throwing thousands of microorganisms that pass from hands to food.
Gloves of dubious origin, can tear during the handling of food and the use of gloves of the shape or at the inappropriate time can cause various problems such as melting the material when exposed to high temperatures, “leakage” of the very large gloves of the hands, or even allergies on the skin of the professional – which can also lead to cross-contamination.
It is necessary to maintain personal hygiene even with the use of procedure gloves
The use of gloves also does not replace the correct hygiene of the hands, and the regular change of gloves worn by new ones whenever changing functions or touching a contaminated environment, or when their integrity is compromised.
Nugard Nitril Procedure Gloves – Nugard Nitril procedure gloves are ideal for use in the food area because they are made of nitrile synthetic rubber. They have much more resistance than those manufactured with other types of disposable materials, and suffer much less wear during their use, being indicated for areas where there is a need for greater mechanical, biological and chemical resistance.
Despite having less elasticity, the risks of nihilic gloves suffer tears during work, exposing the professional to contaminant and reactive agents is much lower than other types of non-sterile procedure gloves, making them a much safer option. In addition, they are antiallergic, making it the ideal option for those who have reactions to latex.
