The Advantages of Healthy Fats

Ghee, tallow, and duck fat are highlighted as superior cooking fats, particularly for growing children. These fats support brain health and metabolism, helping to warm the body and accelerate metabolism, unlike plant oils that can lead to weight gain and metabolic slowdown. Studies suggest that saturated fats, as consumed in ghee and similar fats, have beneficial effects on energy levels and cognitive function. Parents are encouraged to provide these fats over unhealthy alternatives to foster healthier eating habits in children.
