9 Health Benefits Of Buttermilk (Chaas)

7. Lowers cholesterol, reduces blood pressure and prevents cancer.

A study found that the milk fat molecules in buttermilk contain a unique bioactive protein that lowers cholesterol and has antiviral, antibacterial and anticarcinogenic properties. The same study found that drinking chaas every day can reduce blood pressure significantly.

8. Prevents dehydration.

Carry a bottle of chaas with you if you know you’re going to be out in the heat, or have a chilled glass as soon as you get home. The combination of water, yoghurt, salt and spices will replenish your fluid and electrolyte levels instantly, helping you ward off dehydration.

Many people who are lactose intolerant are actually able to digest yoghurt without a problem. If you’re lactose intolerant, drinking chaas is one way to make sure you get your calcium.
