  • “What a clever and entertaining presentation of proper nutrition throughout the life cycle, with a clear sense of the cultural and environmental challenges that people, especially women, face around the world. This book a great illustration of how big of a role empowered women can play in improving the health and nutrition status of their community”
    Dr. Binetou C. Seck, M.D.Dr. Binetou C. Seck, M.D.Director and Founder of Nutrideal, Dakar, Senegal
  • “Divya L. Selvakumar has written a very important and comprehensive book, especially for those readers who have not studied nutrition. It is as though she has provided us with a mini-course in the relationship between good nutrition and good health, but by linking them to a variety of scenarios in this scientifically based novel, the information is communicated in a much more palatable form than one would encounter in a classroom.”
