How Fats in the body stored

Fat cells can be stored in the form of : essential, subcutaneous, or visceral fat. Essential fat is necessary for a healthy, functional body. Subcutaneous fat makes up most of our bodily fat and is found under the skin. This is the body’s method of storing energy for later use.

The brain signals fat cells to release the energy packages, or fatty acid molecules, to the bloodstream. The muscles, lungs & heart pick up these fatty acids, break them apart, and use the energy stored in the bonds to execute their activities.
