Eating the right types & amounts of fats is key for numerous reasons!

#Fats are needed for vital processes such as brain, eye and heart function, growth and development. Plus, essential fats (e.g., omega-3 & 6) can't be produced by the body, so we need to get them from our food.

[European Food Information Council (EUFIC) @EUFIC]

🥜 #Fats are important for good health and proper functioning of the body. They are a source of energy & omega fats and enhance the absorption of certain vitamins. However, too much fat and/or the wrong type of fat (e.g., saturated & trans fat) may negatively affect our health.

Bolsonaro acabou de ganhar mais uma aposentadoria. Somando as mamatas de mau militar, péssimo deputado e pior presidente da História, vai ganhar mais de 40 mil por mês. E ainda quer roubar a nossa bolsa? Devolve minha bolsa, Bolsonaro! #PagueMinhaBolsa #CAPES

A bolsa de estudos é a principal política de incentivo à ciência no Brasil. Os valores, que são a única remuneração recebida pelos pesquisadores, estão desfasados há 10 anos. Mesmo assim, o governo quer dar calote nos bolsistas. É revoltante! #PagueMinhaBolsa

Embora tenham dedicação exclusiva, os pós-graduandos não têm direitos trabalhistas e nem como negociar a remuneração. As bolsas são a única contrapartida por anos de dedicação e pesquisas que ajudam a desenvolver o Brasil. Exigimos tratamento digno! #PagueMinhaBolsa #CAPES

Get salt 🧂 out of the menu. Most people around the world eat too much salt, 9–12 grams per day on average.

This is double the WHO recommended limit of 5⃣ grams (equivalent to a teaspoon) a day.
