Health & Physical Education

Dieting isn't the only (or even the best) way to lose weight; physical activity also helps burn off those extra calories. Even better, exercise helps you manage stress and improve your mood. An active body is a healthier body overall. This book will introduce you to many different kinds of things you can do to increase your physical activity. It also has advice about safe exercising, stress management, and how to adjust your diet to improve your physical performance. We have all heard the old saying, "you are what you eat." The six volumes in Health & Nutrition will explain the many ways in which the food choices you make every day can help or hurt your body's functioning. The books also look at physical fitness, the importance of good hygiene, and the many challenges of keeping food safe from contamination. From the key components of a balanced diet to avoiding foodborne illnesses, and from the impact of stress on health to how malnutrition hurts the body, these books are packed with useful information about protecting and improving your health.
