Eat Ghee and be Free: Ayurveda and Ghee
‘My son and and and and don’t eat ghee and .. and your cholesterol will increase, triglycerides will increase, your heart vessels will have cholesterol deposits and there will soon be heart attack and . and ‘
These are the words that we hear today from most of the people. This is what they believe and are made to believe. Consequent to this our generations have not even tasted ghee and we never allow our coming generations to have even the taste or smell of ghee and and
INTAKE OF MEDICATED GHEE WILL NOT INCREASE TRIGLYCERIDES
There is a very false belief among people that Ayurvedic medicated ghee will cause increase in cholesterol levels. We at Kerala Ayurveda hospital, monitor the cholesterol levels before and after taking medicated ghee and its has been found that it will decrease the unwanted cholesterol especially when Tiktakam, Mahatiktakam, Guggulu Tiktakam, Aragwadhamahatiktakam ghritam etc is given. Snehapaana is a special procedure where, we give nearly 600 ml or more of medicated ghee to a person in maximum of 7 days. Even after taking this much amount of ghee they never get their cholesterol increased. In majority of cases where snehapaana was done cholesterol level was found to decrease and only in a few it was maintained as such and ..
So you can take ghee without fear, but only after prescription from an experienced Ayurveda doctor by assessing the condition of the patient.
WHY CHOLESTROL AND TRIGLYCERIDES INCREASES
All these cholesterol complaints and its complications got on its peak only recently and .its after man started abandoning his daily home made simple light easily digestible food and .to most easily readily available oily, spicy fried and double fried, the most heavy and which wont even digest after 8 or 9 hrs and ..
Initially people after taking heavy foods like oily & fried they have their next food only in little amount only after they get hungry because, body should be allowed to digest this fatty substance completely and .
But today people consume oily foods more than 4 or five times. After taking these oily foods even if they don’t feel hungry, they take some other foods and and net result is impaired digestion and ..resulting in increased cholesterol and ..
People avoid ghee and run behind eating fried chips, fried meat and fried chicken, bajjis, samosa, banana fries and .everywhere you go and and ..you have only FRIED and FRIED and ..These all may be fried in oils that are 10 or 20 times reheated and ..It is very well told in Ayurveda that an oil heated once should not be reheated and and if done so there will be production of toxins in the body and .these toxins reflect in the form of increased triglycerides & cholesterol and .
Nowadays night parties are increasing more and more. There will be butter and cheese fried items, as main dishes, like butter chicken or any north Indian dishes which are excessively oily, some curd items and and along with some fried rice or biriyanis and and and and atl ast one or two scoops of ice-creams and and and there begins the tragedy to the digestive system and ..its just like making a bullock pull a heavily loaded cart and and .
No wonder if a person consuming food like this consume ghee his cholestrol & triglycerides will rise and .because the consumed ghee itself is not properly digested and and
It happened to me once. I asked a boy whom I met and ..what did you have in the breakfast today morning ? Dosa or puttu or idli and ..i was stunned by the boys reply and and I had a cheese Pizza with French fries and a cup of soft drink and ..this is the world and and and .I cannot even imagine and and ..how the world has changed and .
Today Anti-Cholesterol Medication is a good marketing area where they focus by saying that you decrease the cholesterol by taking certain tablets on one hand and on the other hand they encourage the people to have more and more fried food item. Result is simple and the person will be a life long customer of the tablets and ..
Ghee is a substance which was regularly used by the ancient people that brought in them many good effects and In the earlier times when there was no prevalance of fast food and fried food, ghee was taken, but people did not have any heart complaints and and but the situation has now changed and and that people don’t take ghee and fall victims of heart attack and and .how pretty and ..
