MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Leslie O’Neill, a health coach who operates Be Well Meals & Juice Bar joined News13 Now at 9 a.m. on Thursday. O’Neill explained some of the different sources of fat and which ones are good for your body.

Fat is a source of energy, and it also helps you absorb some vitamins and minerals. Several of your body’s functions, down to the cellular level, depend on fat as well.

Generally, good fats come from plants and most fish, while bad fats are most often from animal sources or even fats manipulated by man. Watch the video to hear more of O’Neill’s explanations.
