Vanessa Alford liked to run. But what started as a passion to be lean, fit and healthy quickly turned deadly as running and diet consumed her. It became an obsession that risked to take her fertility and even her life before she finally recognised the importance of being fit and healthy. [New para] Fit Not Healthy is her memoir of conquering what so many women battle with, understanding how our bodies are unique and need to be cared for, not just for fitness but to survive. It's a sincere and honest account of one woman's health journey that is a cautionary and inspirational story for our times.
