13 Amazing Reasons to Use Ghee (3 of 3)

10. Benefits the Cardiovascular System

Ghee is high in monounsaturated Omega-3s, fatty acids that are essential for keeping your ticker functioning properly. In addition, ghee can help raise “good” cholesterol while keeping triglycerides (the “bad” type of cholesterol) at bay. 

11. A High Smoke Point

Cooking with certain oils and fats increases the risk of developing cancer due to the fact that at high temperatures they become oxidized, which creates free radicals. On the other hand, because ghee has a very high smoke point, it is a great solution when you want to cook your foods without worrying about these dangerous threats to your health. 

12. Makes Everything Taste Better

Whether you add a little bit of ghee to rice, fish, sauces, or bread, you will quickly discover just how much better these foods taste. Not a fan of whole grains? Since you need to include them in your diet every day, just use some ghee, and you’ll be looking forward to it at meal time! 

13. Positive Food

Ghee simply does so much good. It removes toxic elements from the body, is a highly sattvic food (something you Yoga lovers will appreciate), and when part of a balanced diet it can help reduce stress levels and keep you feeling happy.
