Ghee on Chapati? Is it Healthy?

Ghee on chapati? 🤔

Ghee does indeed lower the glycemic index (GI) of chapati.

The glycemic index is a measure that indicates how quickly carbohydrate-rich foods impact blood sugar levels. According to multiple sources, adding ghee to chapati can help reduce its GI, making it beneficial for blood sugar management, particularly for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their weight.

Experts highlight that ghee not only enhances the flavor and texture of chapati but also contributes to a feeling of fullness, which can help prevent overeating later in the day.

This combination of effects makes ghee a valuable addition to chapati, especially when consumed in moderation. The addition of ghee to chapati not only enhances its flavor but also aids in digestion. This can further contribute to better blood sugar control, as it helps in the more efficient breakdown and absorption of nutrients Ghee itself has no glycemic index due to its composition, which includes healthy fats and nutrients.

This characteristic allows it to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates when consumed with foods like chapati, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

A study titled "The Effect of Cow Ghee on Lowering the Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetic Subjects" found that the inclusion of cow ghee in the diet resulted in decreased blood glucose levels among clinically diagnosed diabetic subjects.

The study highlighted ghee's potential as a therapeutic agent for managing diabetes. A review of both Ayurvedic and modern scientific literature indicates that ghee can control postprandial glycemic responses when used in meals. This suggests that ghee may help mitigate spikes in blood sugar levels typically associated with high-GI foods.
