The Truth about Fat

You need to eat about 78 grams of fat per day to keep your body working as it should. However, the key is to ensure that these fats are healthy fats, such as polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, rather than saturated fats. Saturated fats cause health problems, such as blocked arteries and an increased risk of heart disease, while healthy fats perform important tasks such as building cell membranes, covering nerves, and helping your blood clot properly.
