Spicy Buttermilk


Today my recipe Spicy buttermilk is very simple and healthy too. This is very refreshing drink in summer to  avoid dehydration. It is low in calories and high nutrition. Buttermilk is a good source of potassium, Vitamin B-12, calcium and phosphorous. It also contains probiotics, they help with digestion and strengthen your immune system. Buttermilk is easier to digest than regular milk because it contains even more lactic acid than can be found in skim milk. Buttermilk actually has less fat than regular milk, the fat has been removed to make butter. Healthy bacteria reside in everybody’s colon, and in return for food and a warm place to live these resident bacteria contribute to your health.
Some healthy things these bacteria do to your body are manufacture vitamins, improve digestion, boost Immunity, manufacture nutrients, protect against cardiovascular diseases and protection against carcinogens. Because of all such benefits, many times physicians advise patients to consume buttermilk instead of milk as it contains less fat, calories and skim milk. Actually  every one drink plain buttermilk more times in summer but adding some more ingredients to plain buttermilk we get a tasty and healthy buttermilk. In this ingredients are green chilli, coriander leaves, pudina leaves, curry leaves, black salt, ginger, jeera and lemon juice. It helps for IBS - Irritable bowels syndrome,Diarrhoea and dysentery,Indigestion,Obesity,Urinary tract infection,To ease pain during menstrual cycle,Gas troubles.
