Fat accumulates in the body when the total number of calories consumed exceeds the total number of calories burned throughout the day. It does this by being stored in the body as an energy reserve. Over time, if this pattern continues, the fat reserves will start to accumulate and cause weight gain.

Storage fats primarily accumulate in adipose tissue, which is found throughout the body, particularly beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around internal organs (visceral fat).

Fat-soluble vitamins are more likely to reach toxic levels in the body compared to water-soluble vitamins.

This makes it easier for fat-soluble vitamins to accumulate to toxic levels over time.
