🇬🇧 The Importance of Eating Animal Fat

Eating animal fat is fundamental for the body, as it performs structural, hormonal, and energetic functions that are difficult to replicate solely with plant sources. Although they have been historically criticized, current science highlights their essential role in overall health.

VITAL FUNCTIONS OF ANIMAL FAT

Brain Health
The brain is composed of nearly 60% fat. Animal fats provide essential fatty acids such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is vital for the formation of myelin (which insulates brain circuits) and the development of the cerebral cortex, responsible for complex thinking and memory.

Vitamin Absorption
They are the indispensable vehicle for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Without enough fat in the diet, the body cannot process these essential nutrients for vision, bones, and the immune system.

Hormonal Regulation
Cholesterol and saturated fats of animal origin are precursors to key hormones, including s*x hormones (testosterone and estrogens) and cortisol.

Cellular Structure
They provide stability and fluidity to the membranes of all cells in the body, allowing for efficient communication between neurons.

Bone and Lung Health
Saturated fats are necessary for calcium to be effectively incorporated into the bones. In the lungs, pulmonary surfactant (which prevents alveoli from collapsing) is primarily composed of fat.
