Klappentext What's going on when we're tetchy, spotty, fearful, tearful or just plain awful? 'From understanding a teenager to discovering which diet adjustments may ease the aging process, this guide makes fascinating reading.' Good Book Guide Hormones rule our internal world: they control our growth, our metabolism, weight, water-balance, body clocks, fertility, muscle bulk, mood, speed of ageing, whether we want sex or not (and whether we enjoy it) and even who we fall in love with. Their effects may occur in seconds and be over in a flash, or take months and last for years. In The Truth About Hormones Vivienne Parry explains how, exactly, these mysteriously powerful things affect us. 'Combining in-depth research with a good eye for a story, Parry does a grand job of steering between didacticism and sensationalism, while keeping the tone bright and breezy.'
