“This book is important for every older person, but also for each and every one of us as we relentlessly progress toward old age. We are what we eat.”
– Dr Jane Tolman Clinical Associate Professor Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre
“I commonly see frail elderly people with multiple co-morbidities including dementia, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, heart disease, gait and balance disorders who have associated severe malnutrition. Ngaire’s book is a very practical approach [with] easy steps to eliminate those risks and improve nutrition and health.”
– Peter Lipski Consultant Physician in Geriatric Medicine Director of Geriatric Medicine – Brisbane Waters Private Hospital Conjoint Associate Professor Newcastle University
