Fats are sources of essential fatty acids are required for biological processes. Fats maintain the health of skin and hair, insulate body organs against shock, maintain body temperature, promote healthy cell function, store energy for the body.

Fats play a key role in digesting, absorbing, and transporting the fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Fats break down in the body to release glycerol, which can be converted to glucose by the liver and used as a source of energy.

Fats act as buffers towards many diseases. When a bad substance like a chemical or a biotic reaches unsafe levels in the bloodstream, the body can dilute (or at least maintain equilibrium of) them by storing it in new fat tissue until it can be metabolized or removed from the body.

they keep our body warm.
