Is cow ghee good for health? - #10698
I’ve grown up seeing cow ghee being used in cooking at home, but in recent years, there’s been so much debate about whether it’s good for health or not. Some people swear by its benefits, while others say it’s full of saturated fat and should be avoided. I want to understand if cow ghee is actually good for health, especially when consumed daily. One of the main reasons I’m curious is that I’ve started focusing on a healthier diet. I’ve heard that cow ghee is considered a superfood in Ayurveda and is good for digestion, immunity, and even brain health. But is that true for everyone, or are there specific health conditions where cow ghee should be avoided? Another concern I have is about heart health. My father has high cholesterol, and I’m not sure if adding cow ghee to our meals is safe for him. Does cow ghee increase cholesterol levels, or is it heart-friendly in moderation? Also, how much is too much when it comes to daily consumption? I’ve also read that cow ghee is beneficial for weight management. Some people say it boosts metabolism, while others claim it adds unnecessary calories. Does cow ghee actually help with weight loss, or is that just a myth? If anyone has been using cow ghee regularly, I’d love to know your experience. Did it make a noticeable difference in your health, energy levels, or digestion? How do you incorporate it into your diet—do you use it for cooking, or do you take it directly? Lastly, are all types of cow ghee the same, or should I be looking for specific qualities, like organic or A2 ghee? Any advice on choosing the best cow ghee would be really helpful.
