Besides improving the taste and texture of food, dietary fat is vitally important for good health.
Dietary fat:
- Is critical for proper brain and nerve function, eyesight, skin health, and even sperm count.
- Slows the progression of age-related memory loss and other cognitive disorders.
- Bolsters mood and prevents depression.
- Is used to make cell membranes, hormones, and hormone like substances.
- Carries the fat-soluble vitamins A,D,E and K. (Without fat, you’d become deficient in these vitamins.)
- Helps convert carotenes into vitamin A.
- Enables mineral absorption.
- Allows the body to fill in bone with calcium and other minerals.
