Do We Need Fat in Our Diet?
YES! Fat plays an important role in our diet. The roles of fat include:
- Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin A, D, E, and K
- Keeps your hair, skin and nails healthy
- Provides calories that can be used for energy
- Stored to help insulate your body
- Brain development (in babies)
- Brain health (Omega-3 fats)
- Blood clotting
- Controls inflammation
However, there are different types of fat and it is sometimes difficult to know which fats are better to consume in moderation and which ones may cause future damage to the body if over-consumed. One of the worst kinds of fat for the body is trans fats, which should be avoided. Refer to the nutrition facts label and avoid trans fats and hydrogenated/partially-hydrogenated oils. The other types of fats are saturated and unsaturated. All fats contain both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Fats are referred to as saturated or unsaturated depending on how much of the type of fatty acid they contain.1
Saturated Fat:
