What is the relationship between cow ghee and cholesterol, and how should it be consumed safely? - #10303
I’ve been reading about the nutritional benefits of ghee, but I’m curious about the connection between cow ghee and cholesterol. Is ghee a healthy fat, or does it increase cholesterol levels when consumed regularly? One of the claims about cow ghee is that it contains healthy fats like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Do these help improve good cholesterol (HDL) levels, and how does this balance out the saturated fats also present in ghee? Another aspect I want to understand is whether ghee is safe for people with high cholesterol or heart conditions. Can it be consumed in moderation as part of a heart-healthy diet, or should it be avoided altogether? I’m also curious about the best ways to use cow ghee. Are there specific recipes or combinations (like with turmeric milk) that maximize its health benefits while minimizing any potential risks to cholesterol levels? Lastly, are there any studies or real-life experiences that highlight the impact of cow ghee on cholesterol? If anyone has included ghee in their diet, I’d love to know how it affected your health.
