Nowadays people shy away from eating ghee, as it is rich in fat and calories. While it is true that most people do not know that fats play the most important role in keeping us healthy. Ghee is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins and healthy fats. Yes, fats should be consumed in moderation but studies show that healthy fats are needed to absorb essential vitamins and minerals, among other benefits. Kajal Vattamwar and Bushra Qureshi, dietitians and co-founders, Healthy Steady Go, spill the beans on ghee and its benefits.
improves gut health
Studies show that starting your day with fat earlier, improves insulin response, and improves the diversity of gut bacteria. A spoonful of ghee before bedtime can help relieve constipation, in turn improving digestive health.
strengthens bones
Vitamin K present in ghee helps in the absorption of calcium. Other vitamins, such as vitamin A, are responsible for absorbing vitamin D. Ghee is also responsible for the prevention of tooth decay and atherosclerosis.
high smoke point
Indian cooking requires a high smoke point, which is not the case in oils such as olive oil. Ghee does not break down into free radicals at high temperatures, making it perfect for Indian cooking. Free radicals are responsible for cancer among many other deadly diseases.
boosts immunity
Ghee is rich in butyric acid, which helps build T-cells to fight diseases and boost immunity. Ghee is also loaded with antioxidants; It helps the body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients thus reducing the chances of falling ill.
improves overall health
Over the years, Ayurveda has been advocating the consumption of desi ghee for many reasons. Moisturizing and nourishing skin, reducing bad cholesterol, and improving good cholesterol, boosting metabolism, boosting energy among many others as well as anti fungal properties.
The deal breaker these days will be the quality of the ghee. It is highly adulterated with other oils. So, make sure you buy good quality A2 grass fed ghee. Making ghee at home is also easy.
