Brain Body Food: The Ultimate Guide to Thriving into Later Life and Reducing Dementia Risk

Ngaire Hobbins is a dietitian with a passion for sharing the science of nutrition, ageing and brain health with everyday people and is on the Expert Working Party for the National Congress on Food, Nutrition and the Dining Experience in Aged Care which the Maggie Beer Foundation is delivering in partnership with the Dept of Health.

Ngaire is skilled at translating the complex science of nutrition, ageing and brain health for the everyday reader. This new book offers an abundance of sensible, practical guidance for thriving into later life and reducing dementia risk.

Maggie recently had the opportunity to review the latest book and has this advice for you: "There is so much for us to learn about ageing well; I have such a belief that it's totally within our grasp to make the most of the years given to us but also believe we have to arm ourselves with the knowledge of what will help us along the way. Immerse yourself in Ngaire’s book and be aware of the difference that the right food can do for our bodies and for the pleasure in our life in being active and connected." 

Maggie Beer Ngaire’s book is available here, or through your favourite bookseller (in print or as an ebook) An audio book is also in production and due in the new year.
