What is "polyunsaturated fatty acid"?

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are a type of fat with more than one unsaturated bond in their chemical structure. They are considered essential fats because the body cannot produce them on its own and must obtain them from the diet. PUFAs are divided into two main types: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These fats play crucial roles in brain function, heart health, and overall well-being. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and cardiovascular benefits. Omega-6 fatty acids, found in vegetable oils like soybean and corn oil, are important for skin health and cell function.
