The body does not normally 'give off' radiation. The word, "Radiation" is usually taken to mean "Nuclear Radiation", which the body does not normally do,

However . . . the body can 'radiate' heat, for instance. You see, 'radiation' means going away from a center along an infinite number of 'radiuses'.

The Sun radiates heat, light, gamma rays, and so forth. (Yes, 'Ray' is a word also taken from 'Radius" (Ray-dius)

Your flashlight radiates light and a bit of heat. A star which has gone 'nova' radiates light, heat, gamma rays, cosmic rays, X-rays and so on.
