Nature msant this fat to be a reâ€" servoir of fuel or energy to be used when fosd ran low and to prevent loss of heat from the body. Heat is life. 1 Fat is found everywnere in the body. in every crgan and cell, but in certain regions there are actual store houses of fat. In some of these storehous?s or depots the fat lies in an imactive eondiâ€" tion and in other places it acts as a support for more active organs and tissues.

Other organs suppcrted or sheltered by fat are the heart, and the organs in the abdomen. Any great loss of fat may cause the abdominal crgans to drop so that the stomach in some cases has been found in line with the hip bones instead of three inches above the â€" umbilicus (navel).
