Our body needs some calories just to operate - to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing. As a kid, our body also needs calories from a variety of foods to grow and develop. But eating too many calories is not good and consequently leads to weight gain. Carbohydrates provides us energy for our all types of activities.
