Tamil actor Atharvaa Murali has shared an unusual twist to his morning coffee routine: adding a teaspoon of ghee to his black coffee. Speaking about his preference, the actor said he does not enjoy particularly strong coffee and mainly appreciates its aroma. He explained that adding ghee to his morning drink helps him feel full for one to two hours. “I take my morning coffee with ghee. I don’t like very strong coffee. I just need the smell of coffee. I add one teaspoon of ghee. I sip on it. It keeps me full for 1-2 hours,” Atharvaa said. While the combination may be unconventional, moderate coffee consumption can generally be part of a balanced diet for most healthy adults. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal noted that coffee contains caffeine, along with several bioactive compounds and antioxidants. She added that moderate consumption has been associated with potential health benefits. However, individual responses to coffee can vary depending on caffeine sensitivity, overall dietary habits and health conditions. Atharvaa’s reported routine reflects his personal preference rather than a universally recommended nutritional practice. Adding ghee changes the nutritional composition of coffee by introducing fat and additional calories. The feeling of fullness he describes may also vary from person to person. His experience should not be interpreted as evidence that coffee with ghee is an effective weight-management strategy or offers specific health benefits. The supplied report does not include further expert assessment of the coffee-and-ghee combination, its nutritional effects or recommended quantities. For people considering changes to their morning beverages, dietary choices should be based on individual nutritional needs rather than celebrity routines alone.
