While fats have a bad reputation among the general public, unsaturated fats are in fact essential to bodily health, providing protection for vulnerable parts of the body, maintaining warmth in the system, disseminating vitamins A, D, E, and K, helping to keep the hair and skin healthy, and acting as storehouses of energy. Research showed that daily dosage of unsaturated fat can be highly beneficial.

Common unsaturated fats are derived from oily fish such as herring, tuna, sardines, and salmon as well as from vegetable oils and nuts.
