Health Benefits for eating ice cream

According to an ABC News article, women who had one scoop of low-fat ice cream a day (and men who had one and a half scoops of the same) lost 26 percent more body weight than those who didn’t.

1. Calcium is the key (weight-loss) ingredient

Eating foods that are rich in calcium helps to keep your body strong and your metabolism running well.

One study even revealed that eating low-fat dairy makes it possible for you to eat more calories without regaining any of the weight you’ve already lost.

2.Ice cream contains vitamins and minerals.

When you eat a scoop of ice cream, you can be sure that you’re getting milk and cream into your system. These ingredients are great sources of calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin A, and phosphorus.

3.Ice cream stimulates the brain

According to a study that was conducted at the Kyorin University in Tokyo, having ice cream for breakfast could be just what you need to give your brain a boost. The researcher compared a group of people who had ice cream with a group who had a glass of cold water first thing in the morning, and the ones who ate ice cream were much more alert.

4. Ice cream gives you energy

Ice cream is typically packed with sugar, and (as most of us know) sugar can provide an instant source of energy.

5.Ice cream boosts your immune system

How in the world does ice cream boost your immune system? It’s simple, really. Ice cream is a form of fermented dairy, and fermented foods are what help to protect your body from gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. The stronger your gut and respiratory systems are, the stronger your immune system will be.

Eat in moderation.

Although ice cream can be healthy, you shouldn’t indulge too much. Going overboard can lead to side effects like obesity, high blood sugar, and brain fogginess.

So feel free to eat your ice cream; just don’t forget to eat other healthy foods as well!
