Starting the day with healthy fats like eggs, cheese, butter and milk has a tremendous impact on enhancing productivity levels and improving cognitive functions. Here are some benefits of eating healthy saturated fats in the morning.
Fats help the body to utilise cortisol, a stress hormone produced in the morning. This clears brain fog and enhances mental clarity.
Healthy fats protect gut lining and gut microbiomes, or the flora responsible for digestion. A healthy gut enables better cleansing which promotes overall health.
Healthy fats provide the body with a good quantity of essential fatty acids like Omega-3 that help to regulate fluctuating menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps.
Having ghee or butter in the morning reduces rapid spikes in blood sugar levels and improves insulin resistance. This is essential for stabilising blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.
Unlike carbohydrates, the energy derived from healthy fats lasts longer and over a period of time contributes to reduced food cravings and hunger pangs.
