Right Way to Consume Ghee
Ayurveda advises on the proper consumption of ghee to maximize its benefits and avoid potential drawbacks.
With Hot Food: To reap the full benefits of ghee, consume it only with hot foods like chapati or dal. Avoid using ghee with cold foods as it may not provide the same benefits. Experts suggest mixing half a teaspoon of ginger powder and half a teaspoon of desi ghee in low-fat buttermilk for added benefits.
Morning Consumption: In the morning, add one spoonful of ghee to a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. This is particularly beneficial for those with low appetite and helps maintain proper digestion for everyone.
Night Consumption: Limit ghee intake to no more than two spoons per day. If consuming ghee at night, mix one spoon of ghee with lukewarm milk or water. This routine promotes overall health and well-being.
