What deficiency will you get if you don't take enough fats and oils?

Answer 1

Fatty acid deficiencies, namely Omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies, kill more people per annum than Breast cancer. Some of the vitamins that our bodies need are only soluble in fats, and only then are they able to be used. Brain function, energy levels, and blood pressure are all things that could be negatively impacted by insufficient fat intake. ADD is a disorder linked to essential fatty acid deficiency.

The fats that we benefit from are unsaturated fats. Saturated and trans fats, most commonly found in red meat and dairy products, are proven to increase the risk of Heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Fish, nuts, avocado, and olive oil are great sources of unsaturated fatty acids.
