🍔 Why do some people get fat?

People can get bigger when they eat too much yummy food 🍕 and don't move around enough! 🏃‍♂️ Our bodies need food for energy, but if we eat more than we use, it turns into extra fat.

Eating healthy foods like fruits 🍎 and veggies 🥕 helps keep our bodies just right!

People gain weight when they eat more calories (energy from food) than their body uses. 🍟🍔 Eating lots of sugary snacks, fast food, or big portions adds extra calories. Also, not exercising enough means the body stores unused energy as fat.

How to stay healthy:

• Eat balanced meals (fruits, veggies, proteins)
• Limit sweets and soda
• Play outside or do sports! ⚽

Weight gain happens due to a caloric surplus—consuming more calories than burned. Factors include:

• Diet: Processed foods high in sugar/fat are calorie-dense but low in nutrients.
• Activity: Sedentary lifestyles (e.g., too much screen time) reduce calorie expenditure.
• Metabolism: Some people burn calories slower due to genetics or medical conditions.

Healthier habits: Focus on whole foods, portion control, and regular exercise (even walking counts!). 💪
