Why are fats important? What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?

Answer 1

Why are fats important?

Fat fills your fat cells and insulates your body to help keep you warm. The good fats your body gets from your food give your body essential fatty acids called linoleic and linolenic acid. Fat helps you absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. 

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?

Unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature. They are different from saturated fats because of their chemical structure.
