Ghee is mostly considered unhealthy (and is unhealthy when consumed without the necessary portion control), but there are a few parameters that make 'pure ghee' healthy.
"Pure ghee contains only those fatty acids or saturated fats that are primarily (89%) short chain fatty acids, unlike some other animal fats," says nutritionist, Pallavi from Evolve Medspa. She lists out the health benefits of pure ghee. Let's take a look.
Before you indulge in pure ghee, here are the basic guidelines:
Consume pure ghee if you are free from cardiovascular diseases, are not overweight.
Completely avoid ghee if you are obese.
The recommended amount of fat consumed in the entire day is 10 to 15 grams per person.
So, is ghee healthy for you?
Regular consumption of pure ghee enhances physical and mental strength, and keeps the body healthy. It also helps in taking out the impurities from the body. It enhances eyesight, keeps muscles and tendons healthy.
For people with cholesterol problems, ghee is a better option as compared to butter as pure ghee is lower in fat than butter.
Because of lesser amount of fat in desi ghee, it is easier to digest.
Pure ghee can last for a longer duration of time. It can be stored without refrigeration.
Some people believe that ghee can restore balance to the mind and enhance brain function.
Ghee also helps in stimulating the digestive system and hence also aids in weight loss provided your diet is well balanced and you are exercising.
It is full of Vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they have to be digested with other fat molecules in order for these vitamins to make it into our bloodstream. Ghee has lots of dietary fats (mostly saturated fats) that help our bodies absorb and make use of these vitamins.
Ghee is an excellent cooking medium because it does not break down in high heat like many cooking oils do, resulting in free radicals. Ghee has a high burning point, so it will neither smoke nor burn when cooked.
The body needs certain fats in its diet in order to perform vital functions, including protecting the stomach wall from digestive acids, building and strengthening cell membranes and supporting nerve, skin and brain health. The fats in ghee provide these benefits without any of the trans-fats, hydrogenated oils or oxidized cholesterol of butter and other oils.
Keep in mind, that we are only attaching these benefits to pure homemade ghee made with zero preservative or vegetable fats. Store-bought ghee or ghee prepared with any artificial methods will not fit in the same category as pure ghee.

Research studies have shown that peanuts contain high concentrations of poly-phenolic antioxidants, primarily in p-coumaric acid, which is believed to reduce the risk of stomach cancer by reducing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Peanuts are excellent source of resveratrol, another polyphenol antioxidant, which has been found to have protective function against cancers, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, Alzheimer's disease, and viral/fungal infections.
Studies suggests thatresveratrolreduces stroke risk by alteration of molecular mechanisms in blood vessels (reducing susceptibility to vascular damage through decreased activity of angiotensin, a systemic hormone causing blood vessel constriction that would elevate blood pressure) and by increasing production of the vasodilator hormone, nitric oxide.
Recent research studies suggest that boiling enhances antioxidant concentration in the peanuts. It has been found that boiled peanuts have two and four fold increase in isoflavone antioxidants biochanin Aand genisteincontent, respectively. (Journal of agricultural and food chemistry).
The nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E (a-tocopherol); containing about 8 g per100 g. vitamin E is a powerful lipid soluble antioxidant which helps maintain the integrity of cell membrane of mucus membranes and skin by protecting from harmful oxygen free radicals.

Other functions of niacin include: supporting genetic processes, used in fat metabolism, and insulin activity regulation.
Antioxidants: Peanuts benefits compared to most nuts and fruits are known to contain high amounts of antioxidants. According to University of Florida, roasted peanuts are known to increase levels of antioxidants up to 22%. Antioxidants play essential roles in the body such as eliminating heavy metals and free radicals as well. In return, this helps protect against cancer and heart disease.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This element is necessary for basic functions of the cells. However, levels of CoQ10 are said to decrease with age and are known to be low in people with conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, HIV/AIDS, and muscular dystrophies. Also, some medications can also lower levels of CoQ10.
Carrots are the richest vegetable source of vitamin A and carotenes.
Carrot nutrition is exceptionally high in carotene.

Beta carotene is one of the powerful natural anti-oxidant helps protect body from harmful fee radical injury.
In addition, it also has all the functions of vitamin A such as vision, reproduction (sperm production), maintenance of epithelial integrity, growth and development.
Prevent Cancer Many studies shown that eating carrots may help lower the risk of breast cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer. Recently, researchers have isolated a compound called falcarinol in carrots that may be largely responsible for anti-cancer benefits. Falcarinol is a natural pesticide found in carrots that protects roots from fungal diseases. In daily diet, carrots are almost the only source of these compounds. A study conducted on mice found that they were fed with either raw carrots or falcarinol have one-third lower risk of developing colon cancer than mice not fed by them.
Improve Vision The retina of the eye needs vitamin A to function, lack of vitamin A causes night blindness. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a substance which converted into vitamin A in the liver. In the retina, vitamin A is transformed into rhodopsin, a purple pigment that necessary for night vision. In addition, beta-carotene help protect against macular degeneration and the development of senile cataracts. A study found that people who eat most Beta-carotene had 40 percent lower risk of macular degeneration than those who consumed little.

Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was a Genovese sailor who was very familiar with the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic coastal routes. By this time, it was known that the Earth was round, and Columbus was sure that if he sailed west he would come to India. In 1492, the Catholic Kings took Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain. Thus, the Reconquista came to an end and support was finally given to Columbus, who had been asking for help for many years. The kings wished to continue with their crusade by converting the infidels (as they called all non-Christians) living on the other side of the ocean. They also wanted riches, especially gold. The voyages of exploration and conquest blended the urgency to convert the infidels to Christianity with the spirit of adventure and the desire to obtain wealth. Some traders organized these voyages in order to make money. On August 3, 1492, Columbus' ships, the Nina, Pinta and Santa María set sail from the port of Palos. On October 12, they arrived at an island in the Bahamas. Columbus named the island San Salvador. On this voyage, he also reached Cuba and the island of Haiti, which he named La Española. Columbus on his return from America. Juan Cordero, XIX century. Upon his return, Columbus amazed the Court of the Catholic Kings with the wonderful objects, animals and people he had brought from the other side of the ocean, together with tales of fabulous wealth. The monarchs decided to finance a second voyage to the Indies, as the Europeans called America. This time, Columbus took fifteen ships and more than one thousand men, all anxious to make their fortune. Consequences of the Voyage of Columbus Columbus believed that he had reached Asia. He never even suspected that he had been responsible for the encounter of two worlds: the old world (Europe, Africa and Asia), and the new world, which would later be called America. From this moment on, two areas of the world that had been separated for thousands of years would come together. Different societies and mutual influences would blend together to change both ways of life. This encounter was terrible for the inhabitants of the New World. The Europeans took control of the land and forced the indigenous people to work in the mines; they imposed a religion and a new way of life upon them. Source: SEP, Department of Education.
Aryabhata is the first of the great astronomers of the classical age of India. He was born in 476 AD .
Aryabhata gave the world the digit "0" (zero) for which he became immortal. His book, the Aryabhatiya, presented astronomical and mathematical theories in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of the planets were given with respect to the sun
Many of the major mountain ranges are created when the Earth’s tectonic plates crash together. Because of the tremendous energies involved, the sides of the plates crumple like cars in a head-on collision. The mountain ranges are created because of those crumpling plates. The Indian subcontinent “crashed” into Asia 25 million years ago and created the Himalayan mountain range. In fact, the Himalayans are still growing!
The next way that mountains are formed is along fault lines. Blocks of Earth are uplifted and tilted over as two plates grind together. The uplifted part forms a mountain, and the lowered parts are filled in with eroded material. An example of this is the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California.
Another way that mountains are formed is when magma from beneath the Earth’s surface is pushed up, but doesn’t actually crack through. This bulge of magma eventually cools and hardens into hard rock, like granite. The layers of softer rock above the magma erode away and you’re left with a large dome-shaped mountain.
Of course, if the magma actually cracks through the surface, you get a volcano. Regular eruptions of lava, ash and rock build up a volcano to large heights. In fact, some of the largest, tallest mountains in the world are volcanoes. For example, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are examples of volcanoes. Measured from the bottom of the sea floor, they’re actually taller than Mount Everest.
The final way to form a mountain is through erosion. If you have a high plateau, rivers will carve deep channels into the area. Eventually, you have mountains in between the river valleys.
