lipids

Lipids are naturally occurring hydrophobic molecules that can be found in fats, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins. There are several different categories of lipids formed from the various complex structures at the molecular level. One of the more commonly known biological functions of lipids is the storage of energy in fatty acids. The lipid layer of cell membranes acts as gateway regulating nutrients and materials moving in and out of cells.

Lipid levels can be measured in the blood along with cholesterol as a way to show warning signs for the potential development of heart disease and diabetes. A healthy diet along with exercise is a good way to lose weight fast and lower blood lipid levels decreasing the risk for many major health issues.
