Flashcards

Molecular Level

The smallest level of matter, where individual molecules are the fundamental units.

Fats, Oils, and Cholesterol

These are all types of lipids, which are essential components of a healthy diet. They are crucial for energy storage, forming cell membranes, and regulating hormone production.

Health

A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It's a complex process influenced by various factors, including what we eat.

Solid Fats

Fats that are solid at room temperature, often found in animal sources like meat and dairy products. They can be less healthy in excess.
