Drawing from his fitness-oriented mornings, actor Sidharth Malhotra revealed his day begins with a cup of hot water and a shot of ghee. Consultant dietitian Kanikka Malhotra notes that this ritual is rooted in traditional Ayurveda and modern science, highlighting that ghee, a clarified butter rich in healthy fats, butyric acid, and CLA, significantly supports digestive, metabolic, and cognitive health. Consuming it with warm water on an empty stomach gently stimulates digestive enzymes for efficient metabolism, while butyric acid nourishes the gut, reduces inflammation, and eases constipation. Contrary to popular belief, moderate ghee intake can aid in mobilizing fat by increasing metabolism and providing satiety, thus reducing cravings. Additionally, ghee acts as a brain tonic by nourishing neurons, improving memory, and calming the nervous system, while its components also promote skin health and a natural glow; the warm water further aids in softening the digestive tract and detoxifying the body for enhanced energy.
