- Physical Activity and Caloric Balance
- Metabolism is how your body converts calories to energy, everyone's metabolism speed is different.
- Caloric balance is the ratio of how many calories you burn vs. how many calories you consume in a day and is important for your physical health. Calories are either burned by your body using them for daily functions or doing physical exercise. Cardio exercise is one way to burn calories, but daily activities and chores can also burn some calories as well!
- To maintain your body weight, you have to burn as many calories as you eat. Consuming more calories than you can burn will make you gain weight. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. Try to not cut down your calories too much, your body needs calories to function, without enough energy, you can experience tiredness, loss of muscle, and nutritional deficiencies.
- If you want to stay physically healthy, make sure you select activities you enjoy and will stick to and maintain your caloric balance. Be sure to stay safe and cautious when out in extremely hot or cold weather!
