Aamir Khan tells Amitabh Bachchan how he starts his mornings: ‘It tastes nice’

Aamir Khan shared his morning routine on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, appearing with Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. He begins his day by consuming one tablespoon of pure ghee, which he finds delicious. Amitabh Bachchan, amused by the statement, chimed in that ghee tastes even better in dal. Concerns about ghee consumption arose following the interview.

Nutrition expert Zamurrud Patel of Gleneagles Hospital Parel clarified that while consuming ghee on an empty stomach may not be harmful for healthy individuals, it should not be viewed as a miraculous health remedy. Ghee does offer fat-soluble vitamins and energy, but there is insufficient scientific evidence to support claims that it specifically melts belly fat, boosts metabolism, or significantly improves digestion.

Patel emphasized that for those with high cholesterol, obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, or heart disease, it is crucial to consult a dietitian or doctor regarding overall fat intake. She advised incorporating ghee into meals, such as dal, roti, or vegetables, rather than treating it as a must-do morning ritual. Patel stressed that the overall diet quality and balance are far more important than consuming ghee at a specific time. Always consult a health practitioner before starting any new routine.
