Health. It seems like a simple topic, but keeping up a healthful lifestyle can be challenging. Still, there are easy steps that you can take to make sure you're living the most healthful life you can. Did you know that just using a smaller plate can help to curb overeating? Or that taking the stairs instead of an escalator or elevator is a great way to build physical activity into your day? This book offers many great tips for leading a more healthful life. You'll discover
  • why sleep is so important and what happens when you don't get enough.
  • why "fat" isn't a dirty word; in fact, some fats are good for you!
  • what drugs, alcohol, and tobacco really do to your body.
  • how you can stay in shape even if you hate the gym.
  • why tending to your emotional health is every bit as important as taking care of your body. Supplemented with articles and information from USA TODAY, the Nation's No. 1 Newspaper, Health Smarts delivers solid advice and firsthand stories of real teens facing many of the same types of situations you are. Ready to wise up on health? Read on!

        Gr 8 Up-This subset in the "USA Today Teen Wise Guides" series provides suggestions and strategies to help young adults stay safe or improve life skills. Both authors use friendly, conversational styles, resulting in narratives that are straightforward and readable, with key facts and tips highlighted so readers can easily find the main points. Reprints of articles and graphs from the pages of USA Today reinforce main ideas or provide additional information. Health and Safety offer standard tips readily available in many other formats and preexisting sets. The topics fall into the "for-your-own-good" category, making teen interest unlikely. Communication and Volunteering cover topics not always addressed in classes and could be useful investments.
