What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats in terms of their impact on health and nutrition?

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and can raise cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of Heart disease. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are liquid at room temperature and can help lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. Choosing unsaturated fats over saturated fats is generally better for overall health and nutrition.
