How Much Ghee Should Be Consumed a Day According to Ayurveda? - #12086
I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of ghee, but I’m unsure about the right amount to consume daily. How much ghee a day is recommended according to Ayurveda, and how does it benefit the body? From what I understand, ghee is considered a nourishing, heating, and balancing food in Ayurveda, especially for individuals with Vata imbalances. How does ghee promote digestive health, skin nourishment, and mental clarity? What is the recommended daily intake of ghee for different body types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) to maintain balance and prevent excess weight gain or digestive issues? Can it be consumed in cooking, with warm water, or directly as a supplement? I’ve heard that ghee is especially beneficial for gut health and brain function. How does it improve cognitive performance and support the brain’s natural detoxification process? Lastly, are there any precautions or side effects to consider when consuming ghee, particularly for those with high cholesterol or other health conditions?
