Question

The daily limit for all kinds of oils is 5 teaspoons. Within this you can have combination of Ghee / Mustard / Groundnut / Sunflower etc. Anything beyond this will add to your weight. Ayurveda also says to have 'Sattvic' Food which means simple, non-oily, non-sugary, unprocessed fruits, vegetables and cereals. 'Sattvic' food also means eating limited food and not overeating. The problem these days, is that people indulge in all types of modern overeating/junk food and then pick up one line from Ayurveda and want to apply that. That is where the problem occurs. It is best to keep food simple. Less oily. Less spicy. Less sugars. More natural.

Ghee as advised by Ayurved is sajuk tup--that which is prepared by classical method. Our each cell is made up of lipids. So we need sufficient lipids in diet. Apart from that ghee influences mental faculties and is helpful for neurons. D only thing is that it should be balanced with proper exercises so dat it is assimilated properly. Also its quantity, d timing of taking it and many such things differ from person to person .there is no thumb rule as such and this is d greatness of Ayurveda. It is personalised medicine. So better consult and understand for urself how ghee is to be prepared, how to use, how much to use and when to use.
