Fats


Fats are made up of fatty acids. Fats provide energy reserve and insulation for the body. Fats are burned to produce energy whenever one's diet lacks a sufficient amount of energy. Fats protect the body's organs from trauma and temperature change. The recommended intake of fats is 65 grams per day. "Healthy" fats can be found in Vitamins, such as vitamin A, D, E, and K. Saturated fats are the "unhealthy" fats, and can solidify at room temperature. This is the sort of fat that produces obesity.
