People’s emotional health as well as physical health.

Welcome to the show janaki

Thank you

So I have tried to give our viewers a brief outline but can you tell us a bit more about your book and
the research that you did for it

Certainly as you say the book isn’t just about the science and the body I was very interested in
looking at issues such as emotional development particularly in teenagers and also at health
conditions where emotional problems may lead to physical problems such as weakened immune
system for example we all know that we are more likely to catch colds and other illnesses when we
are feeling stressed.some scientists are trying to develop to identify those times so that we can do
something about it

Interesting. Although I suppose people already know when they are feeling stressed

Well yes but this would be a more scientific way of measuring it

Right and are scientists suggesting changes in the way we approach diet in the future

Definitely.experts are looking at ways of identifying really nutrious food

I have been lucky to have many memorable journeys over the years.This journey,one of the most
memorable ones of my life,took place when I just started university.I needed to visit my uncle in
acity,far away from my hometown where he just had started his fist job.My dad and I drove across.
the whole country to get there stopping off at several amazing historical sites along the way.It was a
fantastic bonding experience,and a journey that I will always remember fondly.
