In summer, due to strong sunlight and humidity, there is lack of water in the body and energy also starts feeling low. In such a situation, some foods not only re-energize you but also cool you down. Two such foods are Makhana and buttermilk, but can both be taken together? Actually, generally people eat makhana soaked in milk. Can Makhanas be soaked in buttermilk and eaten? How does the combination of these two things affect your health?

Buttermilk is probiotic and is also a good source of Vitamin D, B12 and Calcium. Because of this, it is an excellent natural drink in the summer season which hydrates the body. Along with this, it has many benefits for health, but what will happen when you eat makhana soaked in buttermilk. Let us know about this from experts.

It is important to keep this in mind

Ayurveda expert Kiran Gupta says that if you eat makhana soaked in buttermilk in summer, then it is very important to keep some things in mind. If you are leaving the makhana overnight after soaking it in buttermilk, then do not make the mistake of keeping it at normal temperature. It is better to keep it in the refrigerator. Actually, if you keep it outside the fridge, the buttermilk becomes sour, which is difficult to drink. Sometimes its taste can even be astringent.

stomach will remain cold

The problem of poor digestion often occurs during summer. In fact, sometimes digestion can get spoiled due to stomach heat. This is the reason why it is advisable to eat less oil and spices in this season. The combination of buttermilk and makhana helps in keeping your stomach cool from inside.

You will get plenty of calcium

Eating Makhanas soaked in buttermilk improves the amount of calcium in the body, because Makhanas are also an excellent source of this mineral. At the same time, you will also get minerals like potassium and magnesium. These are beneficial for your bones. Makhanas are also beneficial for your heart health.

Beneficial in loose motion

Buttermilk contains probiotics i.e. good bacteria. These help in improving your digestion. Anti-diarrheal properties are found in Makhana, hence the combination of these two is helpful in providing relief from loose motion. However, if you are lactose intolerant then do not take buttermilk. Along with this, keep in mind that makhana and buttermilk should be taken only in limited quantities in this situation.
