#Myth 1: Ghee Will Cause Weight Gain
Fiction: Ghee is fattening
Fact: Ghee breaks down the fats.
Short chain fatty acid (SCFA) is produced when dietary fibre is fermented in the colon. Short chain fatty acid is readily utilised by the body for energy. SCFA helps in digestion.
Cuts fats from most stubborn part of the body. Being one of the highest sources of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which helps shrink down fat cells, so if your goal is fat loss then start eating ghee right away.
#Myth 2: Ghee increases cholesterol
We all suffer from Cholestrolophobia . Yes, an increase in cholesterol is definitely bad but blaming ghee for the same is just unfair! Since ghee increases lipid contribution to metabolism it actually helps in reducing cholesterol. Stress is a big contributor for high cholesterol levels and the liver produces higher levels of cholesterol when under stress. Consumption of ghee ensures that we sleep better, wake up fresher and destress…all of these help in lowering cholesterol.
#Myth 3: If You Are Lactose Intolerant You Shouldn’t Consume Ghee
This is again a widespread myth among all lactose-intolerant people that consuming desi ghee worsens their health and aggravates intolerance. Milk solids are far away from ghee which is why it practically cannot trigger any lactase deficiency and thus are often consumed with no risk. For non-lactose intolerant, benefits of cow ghee with hot milk are magical and help boost metabolism to a substantial extent.
#Myth 4 : Ghee is not heart-healthy.
Fiction: Ghee is saturated fats
Fact: Ghee is a unique saturated fat that helps mobilize fats.
Desi Ghee is extremely rich in antioxidants, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and fat-soluble vitamins like A, E, D. Desi Ghee has everything needed for a healthy heart.
