Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are lipids you obtain from food sources, eg cooking oils, butter, animal fat, avocados, olives, corn, and nuts. Triglycerides provide insulation that keeps you warm while protecting your internal organs with a layer of padding. They also play a role how your body uses vitamins.
