Fats A Nutrient
Fat is an important nutrient, and it is essential, no matter what most Americans may think. However, like anything else, too much fat is where people go wrong. Energy Source: Fat is a dense source of calories, providing the body with a concentrated source of energy. When the body requires energy, it can break down fat stores to release energy, making it important for sustaining various bodily functions and physical activities.
Not all fats are bad for you; there are healthy and unhealthy fats. The key is balance and understanding how fats can help your body instead of hinder it.
A balanced eating plan, exercising frequently, and maintaining a healthy body are the overall goals of humans.
