Get Fat!
No one wants to be fat, but what are fats and why does our body actually need it?
Fats are organic molecules. They are comprised of hydrogen joined together into long groupings called hydrocarbons. How these chains combine and interact determines the type of fat they are. A fatty acid is a simple unit of fat.
Types of fats include:
SATURATED (solid or semi solid at room temperature)
•Butter
•Animal fat
•Tropical oils like coconut oil
UNSATURATED (liquid at room temperature)
(Monounsaturated)
•olive oil
