Are Fats Bad For You?
No, dietary fats are essential to give your body energy and to support cell function. They help protect your organs and help keep your body warm. Fats help your body absorb some nutrients (like vitamins A, D, E, and K) and produce important hormones.
The key is consuming the right types of fat. You should focus on monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (found in olive oil, nuts, avocados, and fish) while limiting saturated fats (found in butter, cheese, and red meat) and avoiding trans fats entirely.
