An oversimplification of the second law of thermodynamics would state, "Everything cools down." Then the nature of living things would be the need to add energy to counter this cooling down. Humans add this energy by eating food and combining it with oxygen. Thus, the food and oxygen produces energy that can be lost to entropy.
