What are two functions of fatty tissues in the body?

Fatty foods have two main functions. Of course they taste nice, but they are also biologically good for your body, if the right amounts are consumed. Fats help to insulate us, so we are less prone to illnesses such as colds and the flu. This is why thinner people are more likely to get a cold. Fats also help to keep our bones protected, so those who have more of it, are less likely to be fragile.
