Across: 1. Fast foods.
Fast foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and salt. They are quick and convenient to eat but are not a healthy choice for our bodies.
4. You use your ears to listen to music.
Our ears play an essential role in allowing us to hear different sounds, including music. The ear consists of three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Sound waves enter the outer ear, travel through the ear canal, and cause the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration then passes through the middle ear bones, known as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup, and eventually reaches the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, which converts the sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
5. Lifting weights makes you strong.
When we lift weights, our muscles are subjected to resistance, which stimulates the muscle fibers to grow stronger and larger. This process is called muscle hypertrophy. Lifting weights also helps improve bone density and increases our metabolism.
6. Good food and exercise help you stay healthy.
Eating a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats provides our bodies with the necessary nutrients to function properly. Regular exercise, such as aerobic activities and strength training, improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and boosts our immune system. Both good food and exercise are essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
9. You use your eyes to watch a game.
The eyes are our primary sense organ for vision. They consist of various parts, including the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, and retina. When we watch a game, the light reflected off the objects in the game enters our eyes through the cornea, passes through the pupil (which adjusts its size based on the amount of light), and gets focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina then sends electrical signals to the brain, which interprets them as images.
10. Candy, potatoes, chips, and hamburgers are called junk food.
Junk food is generally high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sugar. These foods are often processed and lack essential nutrients. Consuming too much junk food can lead to obesity, heart disease, and other health problems. It is important to limit the intake of junk food and opt for healthier alternatives.
12. The dentist extracted a bad tooth.
When someone has a severely damaged or infected tooth that cannot be saved, the dentist may need to remove it. This procedure is called a tooth extraction and is done using specialized dental tools. It is essential to take care of our teeth by practicing good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly to prevent tooth decay and other dental issues.
14. Exercising in water is called aqua/aquatic exercise.
Exercising in water provides many benefits, such as reduced impact on joints, increased resistance for muscle strengthening, and improved cardiovascular fitness. Aqua/aquatic exercises can include activities like swimming, water aerobics, and water polo.
Down:
1. Muscles make your body parts move.
Our muscles are responsible for moving different parts of our body. They work in pairs, with one muscle contracting and the other relaxing to create movement. We have three types of muscles: skeletal muscles (attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movements), smooth muscles (found in organs and responsible for involuntary movements), and cardiac muscles (found in the heart).
2. Doing something by yourself is called independence.
Independence refers to the ability to do tasks or activities on one's own without relying on others. It includes being self-sufficient, making decisions, and taking responsibility for oneself.
3. Use your feet to kick a ball.
Our feet play a crucial role in activities that involve kicking movements, such as soccer. The bones, muscles, and joints in our feet work together to provide stability, balance, and power during these movements.
6. Running and swimming are good for your health.
Running and swimming are both forms of aerobic exercise that provide numerous health benefits. They improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen muscles, promote weight loss, boost mental health, and increase endurance.
7. In winter, we spend much time at the skating rink.
Skating rinks are popular recreational areas during the winter season. People of all ages enjoy ice skating, which involves sliding and gliding on ice using ice skates. It is a fun activity that also provides exercise and helps improve balance and coordination.
8. It is a sport with rackets.
This clue refers to sports that involve using rackets, such as tennis, badminton, and squash. Racket sports require hand-eye coordination, agility, and endurance.
11. You use your arm to throw a ball.
Throwing a ball involves using various muscles in the arm, including the biceps, triceps, and shoulder muscles. These muscles work together to generate the force required to propel the ball forward.
13. What are you complaining about?
This clue suggests that someone is complaining or expressing dissatisfaction about something. It is important to listen to others' concerns and try to find solutions or offer support when someone is feeling unhappy or dissatisfied.
