Saturated fat is a type of dietary fat primarily found in animal-based products like meat, dairy, and butter, as well as certain plant-based sources such as coconut and palm oils. Chemically, it is composed of fatty acid chains that lack double bonds, making it solid at room temperature. Common in traditional cuisines worldwide, saturated fat is often featured in fried foods, baked goods, and rich sauces. While it provides energy and is essential for hormone production and cell membrane integrity, excessive consumption has been linked to increased levels of LDL cholesterol, which may raise the risk of heart disease. Current health guidelines recommend moderating intake of saturated fat and prioritizing unsaturated fats from sources like nuts, seeds, and fish for cardiovascular benefits. Balancing saturated fat within a varied diet is key to maintaining overall health.
