Kapoor took to Instagram and explained in a long caption that ghee improves small intestine absorption and lowers the acidic pH of the gastrointestinal system. “Ghee from cows is a natural source of antioxidants that fights free radicals and slows down the oxidation process.”

“Drinking ghee on an empty stomach in the morning aids in the body’s healing process by improving the process of cell regeneration. So much so that it even aids weight loss,” she added.

Kapoor mentioned that according to Ayurveda, ghee is a “samskaraanuvartana, or one that retains its goodness along with the health benefits of the ingredients it is cooked with”, and that if you are someone struggling with a “sluggish gut”, you can have one tsp on an empty stomach.

“Excessive consumption should be avoided,” she warned.
