    5 benefits of consuming ghee in winters

    Ghee is regarded as warming and anchoring in Ayurvedic medicine, making it useful in cold conditions.

    Digital Desk: Winter has
    arrived, and without ghee, winters are not complete. Almost any winter delicacy
    can benefit from this desi superfood's scent and flavor. Even Ayurveda suggests
    using this immunity-booster and healthy fat in your diet during the winter
    since it is grounding and warming. Ghee is also regarded as a
    "samskaraanuvartana" in the traditional holistic treatment system,
    which means it not only preserves its inherent goodness but also the health
    advantages of whatever it is cooked with. Ghee provides advantages for
    immunity, strength, memory, and skin. Additionally, it enhances intestinal
    health and aids in system detoxification. In the winter, it also relieves colds
    and coughs.



    "The cold season's
    preparations have begun as winter draws near. We are putting on our warmest
    clothing and prepping our homes for the future months as we prepare for the
    chilly weather. Ghee was a staple in our ancestors' diets, particularly during
    the winter months when it helps to ward off the winter blues. Ghee is regarded
    as warming and anchoring in Ayurvedic medicine, making it useful in cold
    conditions.



    Benefits of Ghee



    Patil also lists some
    wonderful benefits of ghee in cold weather and also ways to add the desi
    superfood to the diet.



     



    1. Keeps you warm: The power
    of ghee to keep you warm during the cold is well known. Ghee has a high smoke
    point, making it perfect for cooking in cold climates. Additionally, it has a
    taste that is neutral and lets the flavours of your dish come through. It can
    be used in sabzis or as a teaspoonful on rotis.



     



    2. Enhances digestion and
    intestinal health:
    There is substantial evidence that the nutritional content
    of ghee includes gastric fluids that aid in digestion. Enzymes included in
    gastric juices aid in the breakdown of food into simpler molecules. So, a
    teaspoon of ghee would not only make your roti softer but also make it easier
    for you to go to the bathroom.



     



    3. Treats cold and cough:
    According to Ayurveda, ghee contains both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial
    effects, making it a potent remedy for colds and coughs. A few warm drops of
    pure cow ghee applied to the nose can instantly relieve discomfort.



     



    4. Moisturizes your skin
    from inside:
     Ghee is also good for our skin and helps in keeping our skin moist.
