What are the benefits that unsaturated fats and proteins provide when included in a balanced diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart healthy: unsaturated fats are heart healthy, protein are the building blocks of cells, tissues and organs. We need at least 0.8 to 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight of protein a day to help the body repair, rejuvenate and produce new body parts.
