What do our bodies need?


Our bodies need many things to be healthy.
We need calories. Calories give us energy. All food has calories. Only water,
coffee and tea have no calories.
If we eat too many calories we will get fat. If we dont eat many calories, we
will lose weight.
Our bodies use calories all the time. Even when we are sleeping, we are using
calories. Exercise or physical activity uses more calories than sleeping.

Jo is a postal worker. She walks all May works in an office. She sits
day. all day.

Who needs more calories (Jo or May)? Why?
