"Always remember, just because something is healthy does not mean it's right for you," said the expert
It's impossible to imagine Indian cuisine without ghee and, according to Ayurveda, it's considered one of the healthiest daily foods. It not only adds a rich flavour to a number of dishes, but also has several health benefits.
According to Ayurveda expert Dr. Rekha Radhamony, here are some of the benefits of eating ghee.
-- Good for eye health
-- Improves intellect and memory
-- Improves digestion
-- Improves vitality
-- Improves skin health
But despite its many positive effects, ghee is not recommended for everyone, she wrote on Instagram. "It has some contraindications."
According to the expert, the following people should avoid eating ghee.
-- If you suffer from chronic indigestion and stomach problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, do not consume ghee.
-- Avoid ghee if you have a fever, especially a seasonal fever.
-- Pregnant women should be doubly careful when consuming ghee. If you are overweight/obese during pregnancy, you should reduce your consumption of ghee.
-- Ghee should be avoided in cases of liver and spleen diseases such as cirrhosis, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, hepatitis, etc
She added that any food you consume "must be in harmony with your body constitution and imbalances." "Always remember, just because something is healthy does not mean it's right for you."
Aman Puri, founder of Steadfast Nutrition, added that ghee has several health benefits, including "improved bone and brain health, anti-inflammatory and laxative properties, improved metabolism and immunity. 1-2 teaspoons of the total amount of fat you consume per day can come from ghee and help maintain your overall wellness."
However, the expert recommended that people "with a high BMI (body mass index), dyslipidemia, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and those who have undergone cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder)" should avoid eating ghee.
In justification, he said, "Ghee is a high-calorie food - 1 gram of ghee provides 9 kcal. Therefore, excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and an increase in saturated fat content, which in turn leads to increased triglyceride and LDL levels. This can lead to clogging of the arteries and result in stroke
