Buttermilk vs Coconut Water Which Hydrates Better?
Both buttermilk and coconut water are cool natural beverages in the hot Indian summer each with unique benefits.
Butter milk offers a good balance of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Coconut water is highly abundant in potassium, but low in sodium.
Butter milk has the light sourness and enzymes that provide a more profound cooling effect internally while coconut water cools the excess heat (pitta), but not a lasting cooling effect.
Butter milk has live probiotics which calm the stomach, enhance digestion and decrease summer bloating. Coconut water is mild, but has no probiotic advantage to gut health.
Low-fat curd butter milk is also extremely low in calories and natural sugars. Comparatively, tender coconut water contains moderate natural sugar that gives instant energy but contains more energy.
Butter milk restores the lost salts and fluids steadily and gradually compared to coconut water which offers quicker potassium-contribute restoration.
Both beverages do their job well in the summer to cool down but buttermilk wins on daily cooling, intestinal assistance, and balanced loser electrolyte restoration whereas coconut water wins the day in the case of instant post-heat energy.
