Answer:

A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, which means they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.

1)Clean fuel.

2) Your body's basic building block. The membranes or walls of human body cells are made from fat (mainly phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol). ...

3)Sharp brain, big heart, eagle eyes. Vitamins A, D, E and K can't be absorbed in your intestine without fat.
