Once member had finished the survey, the group as a whole was polled as to which category they fell into – did they already have good habits, were they on their way to healthy habits, or did they need help cleaning up their habits? Ms. Dello shared some tips on how to have healthier lives. Her first recommendation was to omit three things from our diets, specifically trans fats, sugar and chemicals. She encouraged everyone to read labels, to avoid anything partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated in order to avoid trans fats, to limit sugar intake especially high fructose corn syrup and any chemical sweeteners such as aspartame or saccharine (she does recommend using Stevia as a sweetener instead of sugar since it does not raise blood sugar). Maria brought a special scale that measured our body fat percentage, some of the women were surprised to see there measurements. Other recommendations included keeping a food journal so that you can be aware of what you are eating and making sure to exercise for 45 minutes at least three days a week, Also, she recommended that you do not attempt a detox without professional supervision due to the feelings that can accompany the detox. She also stressed the great importance of drinking at least eight glasses of water a day (not during mealtimes).

Members of the Plandome Woman's Club received nutritional advice from Maria Dello, CN. Throughout and after the presentation Maria was inundated with questions. From left to right: Liz Miller, Mia Steele from Garden City (a member of the Junior League of Long Island and assisting Maria Dello), Alice King, Terry Scott, Judy Carroll, Maria Dello, CN, and Lucille Gaffney.
You know you should read the labels on the food you purchase. But do you really know how to read and interpret them?
Your mother or grandmother gave her children a daily dose of cod liver oil. Do you continue to do this for your children?
Your mother always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Do you - or your children - leave home without eating?
Members and guests at the Plandome Woman's Club recently learned about these points and much more from Maria Dello, a nutritionist based on Plandome Road in Manhasset.
Among a wide range of topics, Ms. Dello told all about fat production in our bodies, artificial colors in food, additives in foods and vitamin tablets, and how sugar substitutes, diet drinks and other foods really affect our bodies.
Explaining how carefully selected foods improve our overall health, Ms. Dello advised us to buy good quality foods (organic if possible).
Included in her advice were the following: eat breakfast - preferably one high in protein, eat grain breads and foods, avoid processed foods, carefully read food labels, avoid foods with added food coloring, take - and administer to your children - a daily dose of cod liver oil (flavored ones are available), eat fish a few times a week but avoid those with high levels of mercury, eat vegetables and fruit of every color to get more anti-oxidants, eat berries every day (be sure to wash them first), choose your multi-vitamin tablet very carefully, switch to parchment paper in your kitchen instead of aluminum foil -- yes, it leeches into your food. For motivation in that direction, one of several delicious recipes shared with the group was for wild salmon, baked in parchment paper.
Walk regularly to improve the cardiovascular system and raise metabolism. For weight loss, it is a good idea to write down everything you eat as it helps you keep on track.
As always, be sure to check with your doctor or nutritionist or pharmacist before adding vitamins and supplements to your diet.
Try to slow down a little in your busy life and avoid stress. Have fun too - laughter really is important in your well-being. And again, your mother really does know best: get plenty of sleep every night!
Maria Dello may be contacted at tel. 365-1222 and her website www.Dellonutritionals.com is a treasure trove of information and great tips!
