I have his Eat To Live book and it really changed the way my family thought about food and health. Now there is a set of two books called Eat For Health available as well. This newer books help you ease into a healthier way of eating by doing it in four stages.  Here’s a video from Dr. Fuhrman:

If you would like to order the books or learn more about them, here is a link to the set.

Unfortunately, that makes it easy to overlook a larger problem.

Did you know that:

  • 1 out of 6 people in the world don’t have access to clean water
  • 1.8 million children die annually from water-borne diseases
  • 2/3 of the world’s population will suffer from water shortages by 2025

These are just a few of the facts from the book, Blue Planet Run.  This coffee table book has amazing photographs and educational information.  If you want a printed copy, it costs $30. However, right now, amazon.com has the electronic pdf version available for download at no cost. Click here or on the book title below the image and then look for the section with the free download link.

One last quote from the book:

Many people in the developed world still assume the global water crisis has nothing to do with them — that it’s a crisis for “those poor people, over there.” The painful truth is the water crisis is now on every continent and in cities large and small. The water crisis affects every human being on the planet, but most of us just aren’t paying attention yet.
