Buttermilk is more than a cooling summer drink. Gastroenterologist Dr. Palaniappan Manickam, popularly known as Dr. Pal, explains that it aids weight loss by supporting gut health through live cultures of lactic acid bacteria, which boost metabolism and fat breakdown. Rich in protein, calcium, vitamins, and minerals, it also improves energy, digestion, bone strength, and cholesterol levels. Easy to prepare at home, consuming two servings daily offers multiple health benefits while promoting overall well-being.
