Friends, let us talk about a thing that is believed to be healthy in India.

And I have a firm believe that it must also be found in your kitchen.

We are talking about Ghee (clarified butter). Some people also call it "Desi ghee" but both are the same things.

Friends, Ghee is put into Indian dishes in order to enhance its taste.

But there is one major reason behind putting ghee in meals that it increases its nutritiousness.

This is why, ghee is put in a heavy quantity so that it maintain health.

As soon as a child is born, he is made lick ghee and as he grows older, ghee is put in his every meal.

But would ghee be healthy for a kidney patient?

Why do we have to check and measure everything before eating during kidney disease?

This is because with every food comes various minerals in our body.

These minerals make our body work and provide various energy to our body.

Different organs of our body can work properly because of these minerals.

That is why it is very important for the minerals to enter our body.

But all these things are for a healthy person.

One of the major task of our kidneys is to remove these extra minerals from our body.

But when kidney fails, they could not perform this function

due to which these minerals get accumulated in our body in an excess

and these minerals which were beneficial for your body becomes toxic for you

and puts extra pressure on some of your organs like heart, lungs, and kidneys.

Due to which kidney fails rapidly and other organs also get damaged.

That is we should be cautious of what we eat during our kidney disease.

So, now the topic is ghee again. Can a kidney patient eat ghee?

Let us first know what are the things present in ghee?

Ghee has different vitamins in high quantity.

Such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K.

A healthy person has many benefits of these vitamins.

But this ghee could be very dangerous for you during kidney disease

and a kidney patients should not eat ghee.

You will be amazed to know that most of the things made up of dairy, by dairy I mean milk,

so most of the things made up of dairy such as paneer (cottage cheese),

butter, ghee are restricted for kidney patients. Ghee is restricted for

a kidney patients because there is a huge amount of dietary fat present in it.

All these fat are saturated fat that our body can absorb easily

so that they can process these vitamins easily.

Hence, ghee is a food with excess amount of fat and protein in it.

Kidney patient should not eat food with excess amount of fat in it

because it have a very bad side effect on kidneys.

If you have any kidney disease, then you should also not eat high protein food.

Ghee forms excess nitrogen in our body. Nitrogen forms as a result of increased metabolism in our body.

The amount of nitrogen in our body will have the same effect on the work of our kidneys

One another demerit of eating ghee during kidney disease is that a high-fat food like ghee increases the complications.

Along with kidney disease, you will face heart problems.

You might face problems like high blood pressure.

Your cholesterol might get high, and you will face diabetes.

Kidney disease already keeps a person worried plus these complications

makes his life entirly tough. This is why a patient should stay away from ghee during kidney disease.

So, Friends you see how a healthy thing could turn into poison for a kidney patient during kidney disease.

Until when you would be restricting your diet?

You need to cure your kidney disease in which karma Ayurveda's thousand years old Ayrvedic knowledge will help you.

Karma Ayurveda is an institution that has treated more than 35000 kidney patinets in past few decades.

Let us meet one such patient.
