Fats are essential macronutrients found in various foods, including nuts, oils, avocados, and butter. They serve as a concentrated source of energy, help absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and play a crucial role in cell function, hormone production, and brain health.

While healthy fats, such as unsaturated fats from nuts and avocados, support heart health, excessive intake of saturated and trans fats can contribute to health issues.

Balancing fat consumption is key to maintaining overall well-being.
