Eating too much fat is dangerous to our health, but did you know that eating too little fat is dangerous too? There are several nutrients that our bodies find difficult to absorb without a bit of fat in our diets, including:

• Astaxanthin: Found in seafood; helps protect your skin and heart
• Beta Carotene: Found in many orange fruits and veggies, as well as greens
  
• Lutein: Found in egg yolks and spinach; can help your eyes and skin
• Lycopene: Found in tomatoes and water melon; prevents cancer
• Vitamin E: Found in spinach and broccoli; protects your heart
  
• Vitamin K: Found in many veggies; helps your blood clot normally
  
• Zeaxanthin: Found in corn and egg yolks; helps protect your retinas.

So, while it's important to moderate the fat you eat, it's important not to cut fat out of your diet completely.
