from food we eat, and more exercise and
activities burn more calories that we get from
food. And not just the activities need to burn
calories, also many metabolic reactions in the
body need the energy from food, such as to
warm up in cold weather and to sweat in the
hot days. But when our food calories amounts
exceed the body need, they will be stored in
the body as fat.
