We believed fats were bad, and now we are finally realising the need to re-include fats in our diet on a daily basis.
The days of low fat diets are long gone. In the presence of fat vitamin A, D, E and K, are absorbed by the body – thus our memory sharpens, hair becomes lustrous, skin glows and eyesight improves.
Fat is essential for healthy & strong bones, and every bodily function improves with it.
Choose your fats wisely. Go local, seasonal and buy cold-pressed and organic whether it is ghee or oil.
Cow Ghee
More valuable than gold, ghee is a promoter of health, memory, intelligence and provides vital nourishment. It is great to cook with due to its high melting point.
Mustard Oil
A winter fat, it eases joint pains and arthritis, has antibacterial, antifungal and antinflammatory properties that are similar to olive oil while also adding flavour to food.
Coconut Oil

The chameleon of fats this oil blends with almost any cuisine.
Sesame Oil

Fat satiates, thus giving you energy for a longer time and preventing you from overeating.
You might look good without fat on the edges of your body, but without fat the brain is dysfunctional – after all, sixty percent of the brain is made of fat!
