FATS Sources and Functions

Fats are one of the main macronutrients and are composed of triglycerides. The human body produces fat from fatty foods and triglycerides are the main constituent of body fat. Fats serve important structural and metabolic functions like energy storage, insulation, and waterproofing. Common sources of fats include foods like milk, butter, meat, and cooking oils. Different types of fats have varying effects on health, with unsaturated fats like avocado and fish generally better than saturated fats from baked goods or fried foods.
