- Now let us understand what these different foods do. Like car needs petrol to run, our body also needs energy to work. This energy comes from carbohydrates. They also give us instant energy.

- Carbohydrates energy giving foods.

- Let us now move to fats. Fats also give energy but they give energy very slowly. Body keeps them stored and if you don't get carbohydrates on time, body uses them, like mama keep some extra chocolates away at home. Body also keeps some extra energy in store.

- Oh.

- Fats: store of energy and body low energy.

-But if you don't use this stored energy you can become very fat so you should eat less of these.

- Yeah this is very important. You know? Half of our rate is water in our body.

- Oh I'm of 30 kg. That means less 15 kgs of water in my body.
