    types of fats crucial for health, not synthesized by body

    Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are types of fats that the body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through the diet. They are crucial for various bodily functions, including the development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, as well as the maintenance of healthy skin and hair. The two primary EFAs are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in foods like fish, flaxseed, and walnuts.
