Lipids are a group of molecules that play a fundamental role in our body. They are organic compounds found in foods such as oils, fats, and some dairy products.
Lipids serve various functions, such as being a source of stored energy in our body, aiding in the absorption of vitamins, forming part of the structure of cells, and being important components of hormones and cell membranes.
Although they are often associated with fats and their relationship to weight gain, lipids are essential for proper body function and should be consumed in balanced amounts.
