But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet.If exercise wears you out, how can it
23、 be good for you?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, its “use it, or lose it”! Its not that exercise makes you healthy, its more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease. (596 words)46. What is the color of b
