"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.

This revised edition replace the previously published edition (9781590560976)."

Ruth Heidrich received her Ph.D. in Health Management in 1993 and is the author of The Race For Life Cookbook, Senior Fitness, and Lifelong Running. Diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer in her mid-forties, despite thinking she was extremely healthy having run marathons, she researched possible causes of breast cancer when exercise was not enough. She came upon Dr. John McDougall's research, which strongly indicated that the culprit was the standard American diet. A passionate example of how Ruth Heidrich turned tragedy into triumph using a medically sound diet and exercise program which has served her well for over forty years.
