13 Amazing Reasons to Use Ghee (2 of 3)

4. Contains Essential Vitamins

Ghee contains a small amount of vitamins A, E, and K. Granted, the amount of ghee you would need to eat in order to get your daily dose of vitamins is pretty high, so by no means are we suggesting you ditch the fruits and vegetables. 

5. Lactose Intolerant? No problem!

Unlike other dairy products such as milk and standard butter, ghee is lactose-free. This means if you’re somebody who has a difficult time digesting lactose, ghee is a perfect alternative when you need your fill of something buttery. 

6. Keeps Skin Looking Healthy

Thanks to its antioxidants, fatty acids, and natural emollient, ghee has traditionally been used as a way to maintain healthy, glowing skin. It keeps the skin soft, repairs it, and treats cracks. 

7. Promotes weight loss

It might seem counterintuitive that a food that is pure fat would help you lose weight, but it is 100% true! The body needs fat in order to feel full and satisfied, which in turn means you aren’t running to the refrigerator every 30 minutes to have yourself a snack. 

8. Helps absorb calcium

Thanks to the aforementioned Vitamin K, consuming small quantities of ghee can help you stave off osteoporosis as you age because it absorbs calcium, which is key to maintaining strong bones. Likewise, your teeth will also appreciate the boost of Vitamin K. 

9. Regulates the thyroid

A diet that includes ghee can be beneficial in helping you balance your hormones, which is especially important when it comes to your thyroids.
