10 Health Benefits of Buttermilk
Health Benefit #8: Blood Pressure Control
Beyond the smooth, tasty sip of a glass of buttermilk, therein lies the potential to keep your blood pressure well controlled and healthy. Studies have shown that in the fat molecules present in buttermilk are some proteins that modulate the components that influence the structural composition and functioning of blood vessels.
As mentioned elsewhere, a decrease in cholesterol levels reduces the chances of formation of fatty-plaques on the walls of blood vessels and the accompanying inflammation. Therefore, regular intake of buttermilk can improve your general health, lower your blood pressure, and help you put at bay diseases related to high blood pressure such as heart disease.
