Home made Ghee best for pregnant women
When it comes to getting enough calcium for pregnant women, milk is given top priority. Like wise the ghee or butter made from milk at home is the best for pregnant women during all 9 months and after delivering a child as well. The process for making ghee is by first collecting the cream that comes over hot milk. This cream is set with a spoon full of sour curd and kept overnight in warm conditions. Once set, this cream is whisked for a long time until you see lumps of butter forming on the surface. The butter separates from the water content; the water content is called butter milk. This butter is then heated which in turn forms ghee. The procedure even though a delicate one, produces the best ghee which can be used for a lot of purposes.
The fresh butter that is separated from the butter milk is good for calming down the heat that increases in the stomach of pregnant women. It brings a glow to the skin and gives the most needed energy to the woman. A pregnant woman should have 2 spoons of fresh butter and sugar every morning to prevent trouble due to piles in the last trimester. Fresh butter milk should be had with the afternoon meal. Instead of having tea or coffee, fresh buttermilk will reduce the dry burps and burning sensations in the chest for pregnant women.
Fresh ghee increases immunity and help keep all the organs along with the bones well greased. It acts as a greasing agent and prevents drying of skin. Ghee helps to keep eyes, ears healthy. Ghee also helps to increase brain power and intelligence of the baby while it is growing in the womb. Ghee gives energy to the pregnant woman to take up the weight of the baby for 9 months. There are a lot of misconceptions that ghee should not be eaten as the woman may gain a lot of weight. However there are certain quantities in which ghee should be eaten. A pregnant woman should have 3-4 tea spoonfuls of ghee during lunch and the same quantity at dinner time. When cooking vegetables if ghee instead of oil is used it would also be beneficial.
