Calories, your fuel for everyday. We always hear this word in the gym, from a health conscious person or from commercials who promotes healthy products but, what can we do about this calorie thing? All we know is that we must burn ( referring to physical activity, exercise, etc) those calories so that it will not turn into fat and be stored in our belly. We should be aware how much calories our body need for a day in order for you to gain control on your diet. I my self for example, my body needs 2100 cal for a day, that's what all I need to survive a mile swim in an open sea!
According to New York Times, in the US there is now a health law that requires restaurants to put the caloric value of the food or meal that they serve so that people will be aware of how many calories they get from Mc donalds, Burger king, starbucks, etc. This should be implemented in our country because this fastfood chains makes our waist line increase its size and because of this, we can't anymore use our favorite jeans. Do You get what I mean?? Obesity leads to diabetes and other Lifestyle diseases!
