What happens if we consume more energy than we use?

If we consume more energy than we use for our body's regular functioning, one of two things may happen. If we participate in activities that promote muscular buildup (such as running, jogging, etc.), this extra energy would be used up in building muscles. If we do not do so, then this extra energy will be stored in our body in the form of fats for later use. When this happens on a continuous basis (more energy intake than consumption), we tend to gain weight. This increase in body weight is accompanied by health risks such as heart problems, a higher risk of diabetes, etc. 


Thus, it is suggested that we monitor and control our diet and also exercise regularly to avoid the buildup of fats in our body. Several health monitors are also available in the market to help us track our physical activity.


Hope this helps.
