In her mid-forties, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing cancer treatment, she realized that not only did she have to stop the cancer reappearing, but that she should begin healing her body - a longer and more profound journey. Already a marathon runner, she graduated to the punishing "Ironman Triathlon", a test of endurance involving a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile marathon run. She stopped eating animal products, adopting a plant-based diet and a life-affirming attitude that expressed her determination. Twenty years later, Ruth Heidrich is still cancer-free and still positive. This is her story: describing her fight with cancer, the healing powers of proper nutrition, and the rewards of running one of the toughest races in the world. She shows how you can become healthier and more positive, with practical advice on adopting a diet that has been proven to cut down on heart disease, cancer and other ailments.
