Why is a healthy active lifestyle important?

Answer 1

when you eat - it gets stored as ATP in your cells. Then the bonds get broken - giving energy.

So if you eat cake. It will only take like a % of the sugar & fat it needs.. But then stores the extra. The extra then becomes fat.

so if you eat the right foods, it uses that energy. & burns it. Not storing it. that is why you should not over eat.. because that is when your body stores it as fat
