There are many negatives and positives of both the types of milk. In Layman’s terms cow\u2019s milk is understood to be very lighter and buffalo milk is considered to be heavy for digestion.<\/p>\n

Apart from this not much information is known. But at the same time, milk is a very important part of the diet. There are good number of Indians who have more than half a litre of dairy in thier diet<\/p>\n

Now what\u2019s behind being heavy and light? What is really making the difference in the quality of milk? When a baby is born and top feeding of milk has to be started we usually hear our elders saying that cow milk is good for baby\u2019s digestion and it\u2019s also lighter for the baby.<\/p>\n

Differences<\/b><\/p>\n

Fat content:<\/b> First line of difference is the fat present in both the milk. It makes the consistency of milk differ. Cow\u2019s milk has low % of fat in it hence it is of thin consistence and thereby called to be lighter by a layman.<\/p>\n

Buffalo\u2019s milk is high in fat % and is thicker than cow\u2019s milk and hence called heavy. As we know that a fatty food takes time for digestion and absorption and it stays in the stomach for a longer time giving us a feeling of heavy stomach or stomach fullness similarly buffalo milk has high fat and hence it takes time for digestion.<\/p>\n

So cow\u2019s milk is recommended over buffalo\u2019s milk especially for infants and elders.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Buffalo milk contains cholesterol<\/a>. So for many people who are suffering from diabetes<\/a>, dyslipidemia, hypertension<\/a>, kidney diseases<\/a>, PCOD<\/a>, Obesity<\/a> etc are advised to have cow\u2019s milk.<\/p>\n

Due to high peroxidase activity, buffalo milk can be preserved naturally for a longer period. Buffalo milk contains more calcium, better calcium: phosphorous ratio and less sodium and potassium than in cow milk which makes it a better nutritional supplement<\/a> for infants.<\/p>\n
