Butter can be part of a healthy diet—but like many things, it depends on how much you eat and your overall health.
🧈 The Good:
-
Butter contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
-
It has conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may support immunity and metabolism in small amounts.
-
Desi ghee (clarified butter) is often preferred in Indian cooking for its richness and Ayurvedic benefits.
⚠️ The Caution:
-
Butter is high in saturated fat, which can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol if eaten in excess.
-
Too much can increase the risk of heart disease, especially when combined with other fatty or fried foods.
🍽️ Best Practice:
-
Use small amounts—like a thin spread on roti or toast.
-
Choose unsalted butter if you have blood pressure concerns.
-
Consider ghee or heart-healthy oils like olive or mustard oil for regular cooking.
👉 Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins for overall health.
