What are the causes of obesity ?

• Our daily bodies activities need energy come from
  food we eat, and more exercise and activities
  burn more calories that we get from food. And not
  just the activities need to burn calories, also
  many metabolic reactions in the body need the
  energy from food, such as to warm up in cold
  weather and to sweat in the hot days. But when
  our food calories amounts exceed the body need,
  they will be stored in the body as fat.
