L.A- Calories And The Bodies Need For Energy Article using TREE

Calories and the bodies need for energy.

The author’s purpose in this article was to inform the reader about calories and the bodies need for energy. The reason I know this is because, the article says that calories aren't bad and that most children need between 1,600 and 2,500 calories per day to grow and be healthy. This tells us that we should gain calories and that we shouldn't worry about being overweight and on diet. Secondly, if you eat more calories than you burn off, your body stores that energy. Joe Cifelli, a professor at St.Joseph's University in Philadelphia says that if you don't  burn it, your body will put it in a storage tank. Your body turns unused calories into fat for storage.This means that the energy that we get from calories is used for our daily activities including breathing and thinking.We use energy everyday and every-time.When we eat food, we are putting energy into our body. The third reason I know this because the article states that a "Hershey's Kiss" has 26 calories and when converted into power, it can lift a car 6 feet of the ground. When we eat, our body  uses most of the energy to digest our food and keep the trillions of cells in our body running smoothly. This means that the energy in our body also keeps our body controlled. It helps us digest easily and keeps us safe. In conclusion this is why I think that the author’s purpose in this article was to inform the reader about calories and the bodies need for energy.
