Generally, Oil and lipid are one of the most important components of human food. Fats are present in cells and tissues of the body and play an important role in the structure of cell membranes.
Because one gram of fat in the body produces the equivalent of 9 kcal of energy, this is more than twice the amount of carbohydrates (sugars) and proteins, so for children who are not growing well, fats can be added to their diet at every meal.
