Fats

What are Fats?

Fats are a type of nutrient that are essential for many bodily functions, including energy production, hormone regulation, and nutrient absorption. However, not all fats are created equal, and some types of fats can be harmful to health if consumed in excess. Saturated and trans fats, for example, have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Healthy sources of fats include plant-based fats like avocados and nuts, as well as omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish like salmon.
