The benefits and harms of eating ghee during pregnancy.

For generations, mothers and grandmothers have often advised pregnant women to eat ghee or clarified butter because of its benefits, because it is a good source of fats that help digestion and the growth of the baby, and because it can nourish the pregnant mother by combining it with some foods and sweets, but it depends on how much ghee is used in the pregnant woman's diet.

1.   Benefits of eating ghee during pregnancy.

It is safe to consume a moderate amount of ghee throughout pregnancy, unlike other dairy products, as ghee is easier to digest and boosts metabolism. Only pregnant women should control their consumption to prevent weight                                                                                               gain.

Ghee is known to be used as an alternative to butter and oil because it is a healthy source of fat, and pregnant women can eat about two tablespoons of ghee per day.

Ghee contains reasonable amounts of omega fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that play a role in maintaining a healthy gut.

2. The importance of ghee in the third                                           trimester.

 Ghee is known to have laxative properties; when consumed in the third trimester, it is said to irritate the intestines, induce labor, and extend contractions to the uterus, helping to facilitate delivery.

         Ghee has antiviral properties and           keeps the digestive system healthy.                       

        Pregnant women need about 300 extra calories during the second                            and third  trimesters, and the use of ghee helps the baby's growth and brain          development.
