Fats, Oils, Lipids: Consequences of Malnutrition

Malnutrition can result from both excessive and insufficient consumption of fats, oils, and lipids.
Consuming too few fats can cause a deficiency in essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, leading to poor brain function, hormonal imbalances, and weak immune systems.
Excessive consumption of unhealthy fats like saturated and trans fats can cause obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol and other chronic health issues.
A balanced diet should include moderate amounts of healthy fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts, and fish for good heart health and overall well-being.
