Fats are a vital component of a balanced diet, but understanding the digestion of fat can help manage your weight, reduce bloating, and improve energy levels. The process begins in the mouth with enzymes and continues in the stomach and small intestine where bile and pancreatic enzymes break down fats into absorbable molecules.
Disruptions in this process can lead to symptoms such as oily stools, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic fatigue. Fortunately, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers holistic approaches to support fat metabolism, including acupuncture and digestive herbs that stimulate bile flow and strengthen the Spleen and Liver meridians.
