The Skinny on Fat

Did you know that fat can actually be good for you? It’s true!
Your body needs some fat to:

• Insulate and protect your organs and bones
• Keep your skin and hair healthy
• Have normal cell growth
• Produce hormones
• Absorb vitamins A, D, E, & K.

Some fat in your diet also helps you stave off hunger by keeping you full longer.

The key is eating the right fats in the right amounts!
