    Embracing Healthy Fats and Oils

    November 5, 2020

    Examining how we consume fats, our dietary needs, cooking, and digesting are key to recognizing healthy fats and oils. Not all dietary fats are created equal, but fat is one of the body’s basic nutrients providing energy by furnishing calories. Fat nutrients’ main roles are to provide storage fuel for the body, but they are also involved in the absorption of some vitamins, help to control inflammation, and also in blood clotting.

    Homemade Gifts From Your Kitchen

    June 19, 2020
