When trying to lose weight, we often eliminate things like ghee and oil from our diet first. Some believe that these are fattening ingredients and their presence in the diet can hinder weight loss. That’s why many people who are trying to lose weight avoid ghee altogether. But does ghee really cause weight gain? Nutrition experts believe that ghee has been wrongly maligned.
They say that ghee consumed in the right amount is not only essential for health but also supports many important bodily functions. Interestingly, ghee can act as an ally in the weight control process – that is, what we think of as the enemy and off our plate can actually support us. So today awareness about ghee is increasing, and experts are stressing its importance.
In the past, the use of ghee in dal, roti and special dishes was common in our homes. Traditional dishes like dal dhokali and dal-bati churma were considered incomplete without ghee. Today, in their quest to lose weight, people avoid fatty and oily foods, even ghee, even though it is important in maintaining good health.
Nutritionists say that the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in ghee provide instant energy and speed up the fat burning process. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) helps reduce body fat, aid weight loss and increase lean muscle mass. Ghee is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, which make the body strong from within.
According to health experts, ghee improves digestion and relieves constipation. Consuming a tablespoon of ghee on an empty stomach in the morning lubricates the intestines, helping to keep the stomach clean. Apart from this, it also helps in keeping the blood sugar level balanced throughout the day.
