A Race for Life: A Diet and Exercise Program for Super Fitness and Reversing the Aging Process (Revised Edition) [Paperback]

The remarkable story of how one woman beat stage four breast cancer and went on to complete six Ironman Triathlons, advocating for veganism and advocating for humanities’ fight against cancer.
 
There are detailed descriptions of the “how” and “why” a whole food/plant-based vegan diet works to dramatically lower the risk of breast cancer, and if too late, will give your body its best chance to reverse and prevent a recurrence of the cancer and many other diseases as well. This book also describes the importance of exercise in supporting a good diet to give you abundant good health and energy with recent research showing how certain exercises can suppress cancer cell growth. There is also an important discussion on what you need to know about “reconstruction” after breast surgery. Also covered is how to deal with the stress of getting that cancer diagnosis and turning that into motivation to create some amazing accomplishments.

With discipline, exuberance and resilience, Ruth faced each challenge including two near-fatal highway collisions and an alarming medical setback. Her life-affirming attitude shines through her whole remarkable story from sickness to health, from tragedy to triumph. What an inspiration for all!”
