  "account": "Tamil film star Atharvaa Murali enjoys his morning cup of black coffee, adding a teaspoon of ghee to it. The actor prefers the aroma of coffee over its strong taste. Ghee, a type of clarified butter, is believed to keep him satiated for 1-2 hours. Dietitian Garima Goyal stated that moderate coffee consumption can be part of a balanced diet, providing caffeine and various bioactive compounds with potential health benefits.\n\nAdding ghee to coffee might make it feel more filling due to the fat content, but it doesn't necessarily make the coffee healthier. The added calories from the teaspoon of ghee should be considered, especially for those aiming to lose weight. Goyal emphasized that unsweetened black coffee, without added sugar or cream, is a better choice as it avoids extra calories and potential health risks from excessive sugar and caffeine intake.\n\nCaffeine can cause issues like acidity, restlessness, palpitations, anxiety, or sleep disturbances in some individuals. The timing of coffee consumption is crucial, particularly for those whose sleep may be affected by caffeine. Goyal clarified that while black coffee can be a reasonable beverage choice, adding ghee is not essential and the overall dietary pattern is more important for health than one particular ingredient.",
