Carbs, desi ghee make you fat: Myths that need to be busted

Before you dive into your weight loss journey or another fad diet, it is important to know what is factually correct and what isn’t. Here are some popular nutrition myths that you might have come across but need to stop believing in.

MYTH: DESI GHEE MAKES YOU FAT

One of the popular myths predominant in the health and fitness community is that desi ghee is not healthy and makes you fat. Desi ghee is one of the best sources of healthy fats, which is rich in SCFA (short-chain fatty acids), which enhance the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Desi ghee also has a higher smoking point (around 252°C ) which makes it the best cooking medium. Rich in antioxidants, conjugated linoleic acid and fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamin A, D, E, K), desi ghee is also healthy for your heart. It also helps balance your hormones and boost fertility in both men and women. Other benefits include nourishing your brain, joints and skin to boosting body energy. Irrespective of your fitness goal, age and gender, you may have around two to three teaspoons of desi ghee every day.
