Which drink is better in summer?

During the summer season, the body gets tired quickly and thirst also increases, due to which one may feel weak. In such a situation, everyone is in search of a cooling home-made drink. Sattu sherbet and buttermilk are two prominent and traditional drinks in Indian culture. Both of these are considered natural, cheap and healthy. But which one is better in summer? The answer depends on your daily routine, physical needs, and health goals. Let us understand the benefits, differences and right time of both.

Benefits of Sattu Sharbat

Sattu is made from roasted gram, which is rich in protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates. It provides instant energy and controls hunger for a long time.

• It is ideal for people who work in the sun or engage in physical activities.
• It provides coolness to the body and keeps fatigue away.
• Being thick, it keeps the stomach feeling full for a long time.

Properties and benefits of buttermilk

Buttermilk is made from curd and is light. It improves the digestive system and gives quick relief from gas-acidity. Buttermilk is the best option if you feel heaviness after eating. It is rich in natural electrolytes and water, which hydrates rapidly.

It is also helpful in keeping the stomach cool and comfortable.

Who is better at hydration?

Dehydration is a big danger in summer. In this case, buttermilk is considered a little better, because it contains water and sodium and potassium naturally, which hydrate the body quickly. Sattu also helps with hydration, but due to its thicker composition it is not as effective as liquids.

Right time for Sattu and Buttermilk

Take Sattu Sharbat (for energy and strength) in the morning with breakfast or before going out.

Consume buttermilk after lunch or in the evening (to improve digestion and bring lightness).

If you are sweating excessively or have to stay in the sun for a long time, then Sattu is a better option.

If you want something light and refreshing in the office, buttermilk should be a priority.

Weight loss and calorie control

If you want to lose weight or keep calories under control, buttermilk is better (low calorie, light and satisfying).

If you want to maintain weight or get energy in a healthy way, consume Sattu (rich in protein and fiber).
