Taking Curd daily

CherryAndChintu · Sep 6, 2011

Hi ILs,

Taking Milk daily is suggested for women for satisfying the Calcium needs of the body. However, some how i am not able to take milk.
Can Curd be taken instead. One cup of curd every day??? Would that supply the calcium needs of the body.. please suggest....

Admin Note: Curd is a rich source of calcium which is essential for good bone health. Do check the relevant article and discussions on bone health

Hi Cherry&Chintu,

If you are 30+ (hope so..), i think it is better to take buttermilk instead of curd...

If you want, you need not add water to the buttermilk..so that it's somewhat thicker...:coffee
