Altering the body
I was thinking of the phrase "altering the body", I usually think of extremes like plastic surgery, or "The Body" exhibit. But when you really break it down altering the body could include things that most of us hear about everyday, such as diet and exercise, pregnancy, and tanning. Don't these things count at altering the body too?

I think things as small little as makeup and clothings are used to alter the body, but I would normally associate altering the body with something like plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery. We buy makeup to make up prettier and buy clothes to make us look better so in a way we are altering our external appearance. We may not be permanently altering our bodies, but we are temporarily. I think anyhting thing that we do is in some way altering our body. Even sitting down in classroom alters our bodies by decreasing our metabolism. I guess I never realized how often we really do alter our bodies unconsciously.
