Question

Why is looking after physical health more important at the adolescent age?

Open in App
Solution

Looking after physical health is more important at the adolescent age because rapid physical and mental growth occurs at this stage. For example, during puberty, there is an increased activity of sweat and sebaceous glands due to which personal hygiene becomes very important; otherwise, body odour and bacterial infection may occur.
