Fat soluble vitamin is a vitamin that dissolves in fats and can be stored in fatty tissues of the body. Unlike water soluble vitamins that require regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slower than water soluble vitamins.

Vitamins are divided into how many categories?

Vitamins are typically divided into two categories: water-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamin C and B-complex vitamins) and fat-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K). Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and need regular intake, while fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissues and liver.


What Does The Body Do in Starvation Mode?

The body begins to convert all of its stored resources into energy, meaning that fatty tissues are broken down and used for fuel. If a body isn't receiving the nutrients it needs it can develop vitamin and nutrient deficiencies which may lead to diseases such as anemia. Once there is no longer any fatty tissues to break down and use for energy the body will begin to start breaking down other tissues such as muscle, which can lead to permanent damage and eventually death. If food intake is resumed again the body will still remain in "starvation mode" for quite some time in an attempt to restore all of the resources lost during that period, meaning a larger percentage of food digested will be converted into fatty tissues.
