The point is: You need to know how your diet affects your biological age. You need to know what food keeps you young and what food is making you old.

They have many roles in the body and are the only macromolecules that can carry the fat-soluble vitamins that build healthy bone, teeth, and nervous system. Some fats are essential and therefore must be supplied by the diet regularly. Read more
