    Glossary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

    contain multiple double bonds in their chemical structure

    Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) are a type of fat found in various foods, including fish, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. They contain more than one double bond in their chemical structure, which makes them more flexible and less stable than saturated fats. PUFAs are essential for human health, playing a crucial role in cell membrane integrity, brain function, and inflammation regulation. Two important types of PUFAs are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which must be obtained through the diet as the body cannot synthesize them.
