One of a series which combines the visual appeal of magazine style with factual information to provide a guide for teenagers, this book looks at diet and health. Teachers notes are provided as an aid to classroom discussion and written work, and a list of help-line numbers is included. Adolescence is a time of great physical and emotional change. Many teenagers are left feeling unsure of themselves and their appearance just at a time when they are beginning to care about what other people think of the way they look. This book looks at how teenagers can be healthy and fit through exercise and food. It also examines some of the dieting and eating problems that can arise when teenagers have a negative view of their shape. As well as being vulnerable to media images of size and beauty, many teenagers are also offered their first cigarette or alcoholic drink around this time in their lives. They may even be presented with a glamorous picture of drugs and the world of drug-taking. The book offers advice on these matters, as well as providing information on exercise and relaxation.
