Overview

Fats are lipids (fat-soluble molecules) that store energy and provide insulation and structure for cells. They are essential for many physiological functions, including the absorption of vitamins, mineral transport, and hormone production. Fats are also important for the health of the heart, brain, and skin. They provide essential fatty acids that the body can’t make, and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Fats are found in a variety of foods, including nuts, avocados, and butter, and can be eaten in moderation for optimal health.
