Hi lybrate-user, Buttermilk is more preferred over water with meals. You can have it daily too. Water should be taken after 30 minutes after and before meals to boost your digestion process.

Water and buttermilk both are very important and healthy. You should drink water after 30 minutes of having your meal if you want to loose weight.
