Eating ghee properly can improve digestion and brain health
Dr. David Perlmutter, neurologist and author of the book brain Maker, said: Butyrate in ghee not only supports digestive function but also plays an important role in regulating the gut-brain axis, helping to improve mood, concentration and prevent cognitive decline.
According to him, eating a small amount of ghee in the morning on an empty stomach can help stimulate bile production, promoting smooth digestion throughout the day. Not only that, ghee has also been shown to help stabilize blood sugar, improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K, which are important factors for immunity and skin health.
Not all fats are bad
Many people are still concerned about saturated fat in their diet, but experts recommend not matching all the fat. Dr Mary Enig, a prominent fat researcher at the University of Maryland, once emphasized: The fat in ghee is not the same as industrial trans fats. It has a stable structure, is less oxidized and can actually protect the liver and boost immunity if used in moderation".
In the context of increasingly popular ultra-processed foods, returning to traditional, original ingredients like ghee is being considered a wise move. A study from Harvard Medical School also shows that people who use moderated ghee in their diet have a lower risk of organized inflammation, improving cardiovascular function when compared to the group consuming industrial refined oil.
How to use it effectively:
Nutritionist Cynthia Sass, a consultant at the International Institute of Sports Nutrition, recommends: You only need about 1 teaspoon of ghee per morning to be enough. Can be used directly or mixed with warm water. The important thing is to use it on an empty stomach to optimize effectiveness".
Experts also note that people with muscle that is prone to cholesterol increase or are suffering from cardiovascular disease should consult a doctor before including ghee in their daily diet.
In short, a small habit like eating ghee in the morning, seemingly simple, is a strategic step to take care of the digestive system, protect nerve health and maintain metabolic balance in modern life.
