Is ghee cholesterol good for us?

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that our body needs to build cells and make vitamins and hormones. But we need good cholesterol (HDL) for maintaining a healthy body. All we need to do is to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) in our blood. Ghee cholesterol is a matter of concern for many. Ghee butter is widely popular for its amazing flavor and unique health advantages.

Many people want to know if ghee is heart-healthy or does ghee contain cholesterol? Yes, ghee contains cholesterol. One tablespoon of ghee contains almost 8 grams of saturated fat and 33 mg of cholesterol. But, ghee that we get from 100% grass-fed cow milk-made butter helps in maintaining HDL cholesterol in the body. Ghee is absolutely safe for your health if you consume it in a maintained way.  In Ayurveda, ghee is considered to be one of the healthiest sources of edible fat with plenty of beneficial properties. 

Organic ghee is also a good replacement for refined oils. You can use ghee for baking, frying, sauteing instead of using cooking oil. You can also add it to your morning coffee to control your hunger pang. It will help you in shedding those extra kilos in a natural way. Don’t forget to have some exercise or physical activity daily if you are consuming cow ghee on a daily basis.
