Fat

Imagine trying to save money for an unexpected expense, like a car repair or a medical bill. Just as a savings account stores money for future needs, fat stores energy for times when food isn't readily available. In this analogy, the money saved for emergencies represents the stored energy in fat, the account itself acts like the insulating layers of fat keeping your body warm, and the way savings protect you from financial strain mirrors how fat cushions and safeguards vital organs.
