15 Amazing Benefits of Ghee
By Diana Herrington.

Ghee has a host of health and cooking benefits and is good for the mind and spirit.

I use ghee in all my cooking and baking. Gives your food a better taste!

1. Ghee has a high smoke point (250 °C 482 °F).
You can cook and fry with ghee and it will not break down into free radicals like many other oils.

2. Ghee does not spoil easily so does not need refrigeration.

3. Buttery taste without causing dairy allergies.
Ghee is made from butter but the milk solids and impurities have been removed so most people who are lactose or casein intolerant have no issue with ghee.

4. Ghee is rich in the oil soluble vitamins, A D and E.

5. Ghee is rich in K2 and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – an antioxidant with anti-viral properties if it is sourced from grass fed cows.

6. Ghee is Nutritionally Rich Like Coconut Oil
Ghee is rich in medium chain fatty acids which are absorbed directly to the liver (like carbs) and burnt as energy. Athletes can use ghee as a consistent energy source.

7. Weight Loss
The energy from these medium chain fatty acids can be used to burn other fats in the system and lose weight.

Digestion and Immune Strengthening
Ghee (unlike other oils) is rich in butyric acid, a short chain fatty acid. Beneficial intestinal bacteria convert fiber into butyric acid and then use that for energy and intestinal wall support. A healthy body therefore makes it own form of ‘ghee’ but you can aid that greatly by just consuming it.

8. Healthy Digestive Tract
Research shows that people with unhealthy digestive tracts do not produce butyric acid.

9. Healthy Immune System
Research shows that adequate production of butyric acid supports the production of killer T cells in the gut, and thus a strong immune system.

10. Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Cancer

Researchers are using oral butyrate supplements and butyrate enemas to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.
Ayurvedic physicians have been using ghee enemas for centuries to decrease inflammation.

11. Strong Appetite
Ghee stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, thus aiding in the digestive process. Better digestion equals better health and weight loss.

15. Fry Your Spices in Ghee

Many of the medicinal properties of herbs and spices can be absorbed and transported to targeted areas of the body with ghee.

This is why Ayurveda uses ghee in thousands of different herbal preparation.

You can do the same thing by frying your kitchen spices in ghee before adding to your dishes.

So give it a go! Make ghee as apart of your everyday cooking! Just as you have made exercise apart of your everyday living!
