Even though ice cream is considered a dessert, it can
have many health benefits!
Ice cream’s main ingredient is milk, so it is rich in
calcium. Calcium is important in building and maintaining strong bones and
avoiding bone-related diseases. It has
been helpful in preventing mood swings and even premenstrual symptoms! Studies
have even found that ice cream can reduce the chance of kidney stones. Calcium
can also help to prevent osteoporosis, cancer, and hypertension.
Ice cream also contains multiple vitamins, including A,
B-6, B-12, C, D, E, and K. It even contains thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and
phosphorous—all vitamins and minerals that you need!
Next time you’re looking for a snack to give you energy,
reach a scoop of ice cream! Ice cream contains carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins, which are all essential for energy.
Ever feel relaxed after having a bowl of ice cream? Ice
cream is a good comfort food and can help reduce stress! It can also help to
relax the nervous system and prevent symptoms of insomnia.
Did you know ice cream doesn’t cause colds? Because our
body temperature is much higher than ice cream, it melts when we eat it. Ice
cream is also helpful in staying hydrated because it provides fluid for our
bodies. Some research has even shows that ice cream can improve immunity to
certain diseases, like influenza!
Next time you’re looking for a snack, reach in the
freezer for some SMC ice cream and remember all the good it does for your body!
Just remember that ice cream is best in moderation!
