Is ghee healthier than butter?

 Ghee and butter come from the same place but are two different things and the differences are much bigger than one might imagine. Ghee is butter without any water left in it and with all the milk solids removed. Simple sounding as it may be, this clarification significantly changes the properties of the product in question.

Namely, there are no milk solids left so ghee is completely lactose and casein free. This makes ghee suitable for many people who are sensitive to dairy products and would otherwise have to put up with feeling sick after having their morning toast. So in terms of tolerability ghee wins hands down.

Ghee is also superior when it comes to cooking since it has a smoke point of 250°C whereas butter's smoke point is 150°C. What this means is that you will not burn the fat when you cook with it. Not only will your dishes taste less bitter but also you won't be introducing harmful oxides into your body. So overall, for frying, roasting and other methods ghee is clearly preferable.

Ghee and butter do not really differ nutritionally except for the fact that there are more fat soluble vitamins (such as A, E and K) as well as butyrate (which is said to promote gut health and decrease inflammation) in ghee than in butter. So in terms of nutrients ghee wins a little bit.

Is ghee better for you? Overall, yes. Most of the time it is healthier than butter for most people. However, there is an approach to everyday food choice that I came across and that changed my perception of my diet completely.

What is healthier, broccoli or cabbage?

 There is no doubt that broccoli is much more nutritious than cabbage. The Asian Vegetable Research Institute lists broccoli as the most nutritious vegetable.

The nutrients in broccoli are not only high in content, but also very comprehensive, mainly including protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, carotene, dietary fiber, as well as iron and potassium , Manganese, zinc, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals

The anti-cancer effect of broccoli is an important content of research by scientists in recent years. The American Association for Cancer Research lists broccoli as one of the best anti-cancer vegetables.

The anti-cancer effect of broccoli is mainly attributed to the glucosinolate contained in it. Long-term consumption of broccoli can significantly reduce the incidence of cancer.

Broccoli contains a lot of vitamin C. 100 grams of broccoli contains 90 mg of vitamin C, which is much higher than cabbage, tomato, and celery.

Broccoli contains 3.5 grams to 4.5 grams of protein, which is 3 times that of cabbage and cauliflower and 4 times that of tomatoes.

Broccoli is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can supplement most of the nutrients the body needs, enhance immunity and resistance, and avoid the risk of various diseases.

Which is healthier to drink regularly on morning, milk or milk tea?

 Honestly, between milk and milk tea, I would say neither is the healthiest option to drink first thing in the morning.

I personally prefer warm water on an empty stomach. Sometimes, I add a little lemon to it.

Drinking warm water in the morning has many benefits… it helps with digestion, keeps the body hydrated, and gives a fresh start to the day.

After around 15 minutes, I have my breakfast.

For breakfast, I usually eat oats and one egg because it feels light, healthy, and keeps me full for a longer time.

So for me, warm water first and then a simple healthy breakfast works much better than milk or milk tea..🐤
