Lipid

Lipids are a diverse group of fatty molecules vital for your body’s functions. They include fats, oils, waxes, and certain vitamins. Lipids store energy efficiently, providing long-lasting fuel. They also make up the structural components of cell membranes, helping to protect and organize cells. Additionally, lipids play roles in signaling and hormone production. Found in foods like oils, nuts, and animal fats, lipids are essential for health—when balanced—supporting energy, cell integrity, and various physiological processes.
