How can I get a job in a health food store


How can I get a job in a health food store?
I am 18, male (I've never noticed any males working in these shops). Have no experience in retail. I have only worked in fast food before. I have a year long interest in alternative health and organics and consider myself relatively educated than the average customer of a health shop. I am going to study naturopathy next year. And I really want to work in a health shop - it would be a dream job since I always visit these places and love the atmopshere. But no retail outlets have hired me so far since I have no experience, so I don't know how I'm supposed to get a job in a health shop. Despite my interest and intentions of studying natural health, how else can I woo a manager into employing me?

brinf your curriculum vitae, talk to emplyees and ask in stores how to make it, join those places that look for a job for u so they can find a job for u!!!
2 :
Do you have a wholefoods or wild oats in your area? Because you can always start with working on the check out. You could always try getting a reception job in a health clinic. I've dropped a link to a male naturopath who has is own clinic just to keep you encouraged on the path you are taking.

Your health insurance should pay for any doctor visits and if you dont have insurance, you would have to pay yourself.
2 :
You would throw up, puke, and regurgitate, get the runs,have a diahria, go to ER, and your insurance would pay for it, if you did"t have health insurance, you would be triple sick.

What kind of food good for health?-------------veg or nonveg. Why

What kind of food good for health?-------------veg or nonveg. Why?

Vegetarian & Vegan - 8 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
One of common question i was asked by friends "Whether u r veg or non-veg?" If they are expecting very short answer.. then i say "Non-Veg". but if we are in the mood of discussion, i say "I dont want to differentiate or divide the food as Veg or Non-Veg". Basically i am from the family or religion, where eating non-veg is considered as sin. In my earlier days,i even had a same feeling,but later started eating egg .which is common now-a-days.Many of people debate to classify EGG in veg or non-veg. The people who eat egg, classify it as veg. and people havent dared for it,classify it as non-veg.I dont want here to conclude, whether egg is veg or non-veg , but to pin-point the people dilemma, about the egg or about the whole non-veg. I seen the some person's where, he eats egg or non-veg and still he have some fear or conflict inside whether ,it is a sin. and some other person's who claim's themselves as pure-vegetarian, but wanted or willing to taste the non-veg. but they are bounded with the belief. This is state of every person who grown in the environment of pure-veg.Even he eats non-veg also he fall in dilemma, even if he wont he will fall in dilemma. but i started eating the non-veg few years back, coming to the conclusion that, the logic behind the classifying the food into veg and non-veg itself is invalid. It all depends upon where you grown,and what beliefs you have.The definition of non-veg changes from person-to-person and area-to-area. some of person consider egg is non-veg,and it cant eat beyond that.some other person says eventhough he is non-veg,he can eat upto chicken,he can'teat everyting beyond that. some of old rishis claimed that even the milk is non-veg.In some other country(mainly islands) where fish is easily available,it is categorized into veg.and In africa there are people who eat man(cannibals). From viewing all these people perception, i can say that,

For anyone you need your vegies and fruit. There needs to be a variety, different colours. Each colour of vegie does a different thing. You need milk for calcium and yogurt to help your immune system. If you don't drink milk than make sure you have heaps of brocoli. It has calcium too. For nonveg. Cheese is good. All cheese has meat in it, unless specified on the packet. Don't have to much. Fish once a week. The oils in it is good. Meat is good for you. It gives you the protein and iron you need. But to much is bad. So a piece a night. To much meat will give you to much iron. To much iron gives the same effect as not enough. You get tired and feel like crap. For veg. Spinach and nuts are essential. You lack iron. So eat up. You don't have to have tofu. Tofu is just beans. To go veg is really healthy. If you do it right you need to eat a large amount of vegies and fruit and nuts. Also carbs. Rice and Pasta. Everything has carbs in it, but rice and pasta have the most. Don't eat to much of it. Its healthy to have carb free meals. But you do need a little. A few times a week. Fat. Everyone needs it. Chocolate is good in small doses. It realises endorphins, sort of like a happy pill. Sugar and fat is essential, but there is such thing as good fats. Eat those. Sugar and icecream... etc... dont eat to much of it. If your looking for only veg stuff than make sure you check packets. There is veg sausages, and they taste great. Drink heaps of water, and orange juice is good. Hand squeezed. Soft drink with dehydrate you, same for alcohol. Hope that helps.

both of them

Vegetables are obviously healthier because they contain no sugar, butter or any other fatty foods. They're also fresh. But remember, it's better to eat different types of foods to gain a healthy lifestyle.

Personally I feel veg is better....coz if i eat non veg, I feel guilty that i have killed a life for my pleasure.
7 :
Veg.is very good food for health.It contains all things which the body require.Above all veg.people are cool nature in general.
8 :
Either can be healthy. I eat a varied healthy diet of a little red meat, chicken, fish, fruit, veg and nuts. It's all about lifestyle choice and if you sit all day doing nothing then neither will benefit you very well. Excercise is an important factor as it the amount of water you consume

What is the best way to learn alternative health techniques and practices

What is the best way to learn alternative health techniques and practices?
I have always been extremely interested in alternative health techniques and treatments. I am currently in a very good job that I am not really crazy about. I would like to move into the alternative health field and would like to eventually open a health food store and small health spa. I know it is a process but I want to know where I can start. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there is no school to go to learn alternative health. I don't know where to start learning and how. Also for the learning process I need to work around my full time job as I don't have the option to not work as I need the income. I really want to start learning about this field and just need some suggestions on where and how to start. Is there perhaps a way to be like an apprentice to an alternative practitioner?

I am a PA-C and I practice medicine...... and I am open to adding alternative medicine.....as are the physicians I work with. The problem with education in alternative medicine is it is not regulated in ways as the study of medicine is. Therefore......you can get quackery. In some states naturopathic physicians are legal, and they attend medical school in this particular way....for as long as other physicians do. The learn-by-mail-at-home schools (like Clayton's) is expensive and not accredited by any governing body of worth and I am suspect of the curriculum. The better schools have to be attended in person. Andrew Weil (a great doctor in alternative medicine) has a school and program....expensive....the classes need to be in person....but authentic in content. (His books are a good start)Take a college level class in biology, or nutrition, or anatomy and physiology for a good basis of knowledge. Some community colleges actually have classes in herbs (our local college does). Massage Therapy is legit. and gives a good basis of knowledge. Medicine....alternative or otherwise....is never taught these days legitimately in apprentice fashion. There are some pretty good alternative health magazines.....just do a search. But I recommend a good basis of knowledge of the sciences that are taught on a college level....it gives you more of a knowledge to sort through what is real and what is quackery.
2 :
What about some books from a health store? An even better start is a web search in Yahoo for "alternative health techniques" that will yield at least 412 results including overviews of alternative health techniques and stacks of other useful information for you. Another useful search in Yahoo for "alternative health practices" will yield at least 2,888 results.

You can apply for financial aid, and go to massage therapy school. Massage school is 5 to 9 mos. Starting pay is 60 to 200 dollars an hour!!!! Massage is the best alternative medicine. You can learn massage, aromatherapy, stone therapy, reflexology, alternative medicine, history of massage. Massage school is an excellent place to start. I learned a lot in massage school. Go ahead give it a try good luck. I promise you wont regret it
