Explanation
Fat is a natural substance in food and the body. Some foods have fat, like butter, cheese, and oil. For example, “Butter and nuts contain healthy fat”, or “The body stores fat under the skin for energy and warmth”. Fat can also describe someone or something that is large or thick, like the cat is fat. Fat gives energy, helps the body absorb vitamins, and protects organs. However, eating too much fat can lead to weight gain and heart problems. Having the right amount of fat keeps the body healthy and strong.
