Fat is used as both an energy supply and insulation. The hump of a camel is filled with fat, which is slowly used up when there is no food to eat. Polar bears have a heavy layer of fat to protect their internal organs from the harsh temperatures of the Arctic. It is also used as a median for the transport of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, and K, etc. Consuming fat increases your satiety levels (feeling of fullness). Polyunsaturated fat can in fact reduce blood cholesterol, which can be beneficial for many people. The message here is not to cut fat out but to eat more healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and less saturated fats.
