Your Body For Life
6 total works
Our bodies are always active - from before we are born until the day we die. Even when we’re asleep our hearts continue to beat, we keep on breathing, and the cells that make up our bodies are constantly being repaired and renewed. All of this activity requires a supply of energy and a source of raw materials. Both of these things come from the food we eat. This book explains the importance of nutrition, and shows how things like appetite and the foods we want and need change during our lives.

Exercise is good for us throughout our lives, even when we are babies or very old. But as the body changes, the kinds of exercise that work best for us change too. When can we best improve our balance and co-ordination? When can we benefit most from strength training? When do we start to lose muscle - and can we do anything about it? You can find the answers to all these questions, and many more, in this book.
Everyone experiences emotions every day. Some emotions are simple feelings about things that happen, such as excitement at a live concert. Others are more complicated, such as the mixture of joy and sadness we might feel when we change school. This book shows how emotions are vital for human social behaviour, being at the heart of our relationships with families, friends, and other groups, and how they affect the way we interact with the world around us.
Our bodies are always growing and changing - from before we are born until the day we die. Even when we’re asleep our hearts continue to beat, we keep on breathing, and the cells that make up our bodies are constantly being repaired and renewed. But how and why does this happen? This book looks at the physical changes our bodies undergo, from reflex actions and changes to bones, to the impact of wounds, disease, and ageing.
