This time Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol went as guests in the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Where Amitabh Bachchan asked Aamir how his daily routine is. On this the actor told that the first thing he eats after waking up in the morning is a spoonful of desi ghee. After this, questions started arising in people’s minds whether eating ghee on an empty stomach in the morning is really beneficial for health?

Ghee has been a part of Indian food and it contains fat that provides energy to the body. The benefits or harms of ghee also depend on your overall diet and how much fat you consume in a day. Also, people suffering from high cholesterol or heart problems should avoid ghee.

What is the benefit of eating ghee in the morning?

Ghee contains fat, which helps in providing energy to the body and can make one feel full for some time. Additionally, a limited amount of ghee as part of the diet can help improve digestion in some people. Fats like ghee can help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K.

Who should not eat ghee?

Ghee contains a lot of saturated fat. Consuming it excessively can increase bad cholesterol i.e. LDL in the body. This can have a negative impact on heart health in the long run. People who already have high cholesterol or heart- problems should consult a doctor or dietician before starting the habit of eating ghee daily.

How much ghee should we eat in a day?

The correct amount of ghee may be different for every person. It depends on age, weight, physical activity and complete diet. Therefore, it is not necessary to start eating a spoonful of ghee every morning just after seeing Aamir Khan. If you already eat butter, cream, cheese or other fatty foods, then it is better to reduce the amount of ghee. It is more important to include fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole grains and healthy fat items in the diet.

Note: This is general information. If you have any disease or have high cholesterol, then definitely consult a doctor before making changes in your diet.
