Healthy eating at the Lake
Everyone knows crash and fad diets don’t work, so for those looking for long-term benefits from a good diet, Dr Catherine Bondonno will give a presentation at the Lake Monger Recreation Club this Monday.
Dr Bondonno is a senior research fellow in the Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute (NHIRI) at Edith Cowan University and co-lead of the discovery and excellence theme and chair of the professional development committee for NHIRI.
Her research program is focused on identifying dietary strategies to achieve and maintain cardiovascular and cognitive health.
It has concentrated on the benefits of dietary nitrate (from vegetables) and flavonoids (from fruit), and she has developed a substantial body of evidence that these improve vascular health through effects on nitric oxide. The research has included clinical trials, nutritional epidemiology and development of food bioactive composition datasets.
Dr Bondonno is a registered nutritionist, is currently chair of the Perth regional group of the Nutrition Society of Australia, and committee member of the Australian Academy of Science, National Committee of Nutrition.
The information she will share could have a lasting impact on health and wellbeing.
The meeting is on Monday, April 8 at the Lake Monger Recreation Club, 144 Gregory Street, Wembley. The cost is $10 (cash) for morning tea and a ticket for door prizes, beginning at 10am. The talk begins at 11am.
