Human Body Energy
Human body is actually a living machine and is like all other machines. This living machine needs fuel to supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which
we eat. However do we know how much we need to stay healthy? The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat which
is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. The number of calories which people need per day varies. It depends on the activity which the
people are involved in. For example; people will need more calories for standing than for sitting, people need more for running than for walking, etc. The energy
which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical substances. They are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories per
gram calgm of energy, protein 4.0 calgm and fat 8.0 calgm. Each food contains different proportion of these substances.These three chemical subs-tances are all
important for body staying healthy. Source: www.englishdirection.com.
