From Booklist

"Whenever I am feeling stressed, I realize I have gone to an extreme—too much food and not enough exercise." It's the women's voices in this latest offering from the kitchens of Betty Crocker that strike many different chords, all leading to the theme of wellness. It's also a smartly designed book, with information about all the things that constitute good health, divided into life stages. Aerobics for a twentysomething, for example, won't suit a 70-year-old woman. At its heart are the 140 recipes, in large-type font, with headings indicating featured nutrients (including fiber and calcium) and footers showing details about how much is in one serving. Most foodstuffs are easy and fairly quick to make and require few ingredients and even fewer steps. It's hard to resist baked coconut shrimp, pork lo mein, and crunchy pears, among many choices. Side tips from Dr. Rita Redberg, a University of California cardiologist, subtly emphasize the six keys to long life: be active, eat good food, relax, harness humor, call your gal pals, get a full night's sleep. Jacobs, Barbara
