Does Desi Ghee Make You Fat?

Hello All!!

Does Desi Ghee Make You Fat? Now that is a million dollar question!! People feel that desi ghee is fattening and hence have shifted to refined oil. Girls and guys, it is a myth! Ghee is fat and fat does not make us fat. Confused? Don’t be! I will clear things for you.

Desi ghee has been put on the back-burner as companies got busy marketing vegetable oils. So, you have ‘light’ oils, ‘low absorb’ oils, ‘low cholesterol’ oils, and what not. All this has come into being just recently and look at the rate at which obesity is increasing! Since thousands of years, we Indians have been eating desi ghee and have not been obese. It is the modern diet that is causing obesity. We are being misled. Here are 4 most prominent myths associated with ghee:

Myth 1:Ghee is fattening

By nature ghee is known to break down fat due to its chemical structure. So, how can it be fattening?

Myth 2:Ghee has cholesterol

Desi ghee is known to reduce cholesterol by increasing the contribution of lipids for the body’s metabolism. The liver under stress produces excess cholesterol. Ghee helps to de-stress and enjoy better sleep.

Myth 3:Ghee is bad for heart health

No, it isn’t. It is rich in antioxidanats, vitamins like A,E,D. It has just what you should be eating for a healthy heart!

Myth 4:Ghee is a saturated fat

Yes, it is but it is not like trans fat. It has a unique chemical structure that makes fat move from stubborn area of the body.

Yay!! Myths busted!

Don’t be scared of it! Go ahead and add ghee to your food and make it flavourful! Especially your halwa!! It is not going to make you fat. The ghee made from the Indian cow is the best ghee for health. The second position goes to buffalo ghee. The ghee made from the milk of a Jersey cow has no benefits.
