Buttermilk is an Ayurvedic remedy that can be used to treat inflammation, digestive disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, loss of appetite, spleen disorders, and anemia. Buttermilk is extremely beneficial for vata imbalances.

It also benefits the heart and circulation. Buttermilk is a nutrient-dense superfood rich in minerals, vitamins, and proteins. Furthermore, it is high in antioxidants.

What exactly is buttermilk?

Buttermilk is a fermented liquid obtained by straining the liquid obtained from churning butter. It contains a lot of protein, which your body needs to build strong muscles, skin, and bones.

The Advantages of Drinking Buttermilk in the Summer

Buttermilk aids in digestion. A glass of buttermilk contains approximately 90% water and electrolytes such as potassium. As a result, buttermilk is effective at maintaining water balance and preventing dehydration. Buttermilk may help you cool down as well as boost your metabolism. It’s also high in probiotics (traditional buttermilk), vitamins, and minerals, which will help restore your body’s natural energy if the heat has depleted it. Try drinking some cold buttermilk.

Drinking buttermilk every day helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people.

“Did you know that curd has a warming effect on the body while buttermilk has a cooling effect?”

Buttermilk is an excellent milk substitute.

Buttermilk has many of the same nutrients as milk but is easier to digest. It contains live cultures (similar to yogurt). Buttermilk has less fat and more protein per cup than milk. It’s also lower in calories than milk and high in calcium, vitamin B12, and potassium.

Why is buttermilk a better substitute for curd?

Buttermilk is light in nature, making it easy to digest; it also aids in appetite stimulation. Curd is difficult to digest and should therefore be avoided for dinner. Also, stick with sweet buttermilk because the lactic acid in it improves digestion and thus helps you fight acid reflux and gas problems at home.

If you have frequent acid attacks, drink a glass of buttermilk after each meal. For instant relief from acidity, drink plain buttermilk with a pinch of salt.

When is the best time to consume buttermilk?

Buttermilk can be consumed at any time of day, including at night and before meals. If you have digestive issues, it’s best to consume buttermilk on an empty stomach. This allows the microbes to function effectively during this period.

Side Effects of Buttermilk

Buttermilk is loaded with sodium, which is really bad for people with kidney problems. Also buttermilk can aggravate a cold, it is not recommended to consume it at night if you have a fever, a cold, or a pollen allergy.
