Avoid stress! Get enough sleep! Eat right! No, this is not your nagging mother talking. The advice comes from the young people in Lifestyle Diseases and How to Avoid Them, who warn that lifestyle choices made now—when adolescents believe they're immortal—will greatly affect “both your future health and the quality of your life right now.” While the program doesn't necessarily present any groundbreaking information, it does succeed in sending a solid message to teens to take personal responsibility in several areas of health-related concerns: substance abuse of tobacco and alcohol, obesity, sleep deprivation, and unmanaged stress. Sporting nifty graphics and conveying a practical understanding of the pressures teenagers face, this is recommended. Aud: J, H. (E. Gieschen)
