With over 200 delicious recipes and the latest scientific research, bestselling author Maggie Beer and leading Alzheimer's researcher Professor Ralph Martins show us how to eat and live well to promote optimum brain health to help fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. This second edition contains a new introduction and 13 recipes from the ABC TV series Maggie Beer's Big Mission.
This book is so important to me.
To have a healthy old age you must act now, whether you are 30 or 50.
I have two great passions - sharing my love of cooking delicious, simple food and improving the health and nutrition of older people. I hope this cookbook does both but it's not for 'old' people, it's for you. I have been delighted to work with leading Alzheimer's researcher Professor Ralph Martins in recent years and I have learned that if we are to avoid Alzheimer's and other lifestyle diseases it is what we eat today that matters.
These are my recipes for every day, for everybody, full of deep flavours and beautiful ingredients that will nourish you and your family. Nobody wants to eat worthy food that tastes like cardboard. For me, food without flavour is unthinkable! And so is the notion of restricting whole food groups. My recipe for life is to have a healthy attitude to eating - it's all about balance, variety and choosing foods that give you the best chance of being in good health now and into your future. This is not a diet book - it's a way of life.
This new edition includes recipes from my ABC TV show Maggie Beer's Big Mission.
~ Maggie Beer
Maggie Beer and Professor Ralph Martins have teamed up to fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. Based on the latest scientific research, Maggie has created more than 200 recipes that help provide the nutrients we need for optimum brain health. More than one million Australians are affected every day by Alzheimer's, directly or indirectly, but the good news is that you can eat well to age well, from this moment on.
The proceeds from Maggie's Recipe for Life are shared between the Maggie Beer Foundation and the Lions Alzheimer's Foundation.
