Update heading based on rotation

I'm trying to change the heading of my player object based on the rotation. I can make the object rotate, but the heading stays the same.

 void FixedUpdate () {
     float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

     movement.Set (1f, 0f, 0f);
     movement = movement.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;

     body.MoveRotation (Quaternion.Euler (0.0f, moveHorizontal * rotationFactor, 0.0f));
     body.MovePosition (transform.position + (transform.forward * movement.x));
 }

if Instead of body.MoveRotation I do transform.rotation, then the object rotates, but the movement stops while rotating.

What's the correct way to change the heading of an object based on its rotation?

Thanks
