Modern day science now agrees with the Ayurvedic wisdom about Ghee. It promotes longevity and protects the body from various diseases. In Ayurvedic terms, Ghee increases the digestive fire (agni) and improves absorption and assimilation. It nourishes ojas, the subtle essence of all the body’s tissues (dhatus).  Ghee improves memory and strengthens the brain and nervous system, lubricates the connective tissues, thereby rendering the body more flexible, and is an important detoxification agent.

The consumption of desi cow ghee is considered to be extremely beneficial for increasing the bone strength and stamina. In fact, the richest source of fat-soluble vitamins is desi cow ghee which helps in healthy growth and development of bones and brain, also maintaining their normal functioning. Let’s find how ghee helps is a right source for strong bones:

1. Desi Ghee is one of the fat which is lactose friendly, has vitamin A, some amount of calcium and vitamin K2 which helps our body to absorb food nutrients. It increases the transit time through the digestive tract and the presence of normal protein in the diet helps calcium absorption.

2. Desi ghee is a natural lubricating agent. When consumed, ghee promotes the formation of lubricants in the bone joints and elevates calcium absorption in bones. It is full of omega-3 fatty acids that prevent osteoporosis. Ghee is strengthening and removes toxins from our system. The butyric acid in combination with vitamins A, D, E, and K present in lubricates joints and strengthens our skeletal system.

3. Vitamin K2 is one of the most important determinants of bone density and strength. It helps absorb calcium and other trace minerals which are the building blocks of bones. Ghee is an ample source of this crucial vitamin and hence a source of nutrition for bone health.

Conclusion
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It ensures the strength and rigidity of bones. The ends of the long bones are a storehouse of calcium which can be used during pregnancy, adolescence and lactation when there is an increased need for calcium. When this reserve of calcium is not present, calcium is mobilised from the bones. This causes thinning of the bone structure, leading to osteoporosis. Ghee with its beneficial properties is an excellent source of nutrition for strong bones. Pratham food’s ‘Satva Ghee’ is a premium desi cow ghee made with age old tradition of ghee making.
