Buttermilk as we know is low in fat and calories and is also healthy for your bones.

It is much healthier than aerated drinks or soft drinks. Soft drinks leach out the calcium from the bones and crate a havoc with the calcium balance in the body. The artificial colors are cancerous and can stain your teeth and and leach out calcium from your teeth too.

Soft drinks are high in sugar and gives you unwanted calories and can cause weight gain.

People who want to gain weight should never drink aerated drinks to gain weight as it affects the bones and results in thinner bones.

While buttermilk is very low in calories and is rich in calcium which strengthens the bones. It is a natural drink made from milk products. It is better to keep a bottle of buttermilk with you rather than a can of coke.

A large glass of buttermilk can give 60-80mg of calcium which can really help to increase your calcium intake. It does not contain any sugar and hence does not affect your bones and cause weight gain.

It is a thirst quencher and does not induce any sugar cravings as how coke can do.

So cheers to buttermilk!!!!
