When Mimi first started jogging on a treadmill as an unfit
36-year-old mother-of-three, she never imagined she would go on to
become a World-Record-breaking ultrarunner. After coming to terms
with the anorexia that had impacted her life from a young age, Mimi
begins to reassess her relationship with food and finds a new
resolve in running. With a renewed sense of purpose, she decides to
take the sport that saved her life to the next level, training hard
and throwing herself in at the deep end by entering the epic
Marathon des Sables in the Sahara desert, despite still being a
novice runner. One startling success leads to another, as she finds
herself taking on ever-more-challenging races - from the Badwater
Ultramarathon in Death Valley, USA, to the 6633 Arctic Ultra - all
building up to her biggest challenge yet: attempting to gain the
Guinness World Record time for a female running 840 miles from John
o'Groats to Land's End. This incredible story of how an ordinary
mum ran her way into the record books will inspire beginner runners
and die-hard marathon devotees alike, proving that, no matter where
life takes you, it's never too late to achieve your dreams and do
the impossible.

HEALTH / NUTRITION Drinking sufficient quantities of water is a
necessity for optimal physical functioning, but it can also play a
major role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases.
Chronic fatigue, depression, eczema, rheumatism, gastric disorders,
high or low blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and urinary
infections are but a few of the many disorders that can result from
not drinking enough water--and which can be treated by raising our
intake of this vital liquid. The physical assaults that our bodies
endure from pollution, stress, overly rich and processed foods
(often containing too much salt), and alcohol and tobacco have
dramatically increased our daily need for water over what our
ancestors required. Christopher Vasey explains not only why water
is so essential to our health but also what quantities we should
drink and when. He also discusses the qualities of different types
of water and demonstrates which will best address certain
conditions. In addition, he provides ten water cures that will
rehydrate the deepest levels of the body, remove toxins, and
restore vital minerals. CHRISTOPHER VASEY, N.D., is a naturopath
specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation. He is the author
of the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health. He
lives in Switzerland.
