ICE CREAM!!

Something we eat all year round here in Cyprus. There is nothing better than getting the family together after stuffing yourselves with all manner of foods for two hours, getting into the car and driving to your local ice cream parlour sitting outside on a warm barmy evening and stuffing yourselves again!! And my, what a choice we have. The list of flavours is endless, just think of a flavour and it’s there, and if it’s not they will make it for you.

Even with all those choices of flavours I still opt for the plain old Vanilla Mr. Whippy style ice cream! I know I am boring.


Did you know that ice cream has health benefits? Here are five courtesy of magforwomen.com

1. Source of vitamins

Ice cream is a rich source of vitamins. It contains many vitamins including vitamins A, B-6, B-12, C, D and E. It also contains thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. Ice cream also contains vitamin K which prevents blood clotting.

2. Provides energy

Ice cream is an outstanding source of energy. It has a very high nutritional value. It contains carbohydrates, fats and proteins – all of which are essential for energy. Also, it helps to gain weight. If you are looking for energy, you should have ice creams, and with all the goodness of milk, it also provides you with necessary sugars.

3. Source of minerals

Ice cream is a rich source of minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Besides helping in building and maintaining stronger bones and avoiding bone related diseases, researchers have also found that calcium reduces the chances of kidney stones. Calcium also helps in preventing mood swings and premenstrual symptoms – another reason why you should have ice creams!

4. Stimulates the brain

Ice cream stimulates the thrombotonin, which is a hormone of happiness and helps in reducing the levels of stress in the body. Ice cream is made of milk which contains L-triptophane which is a natural tranquilizer and helps in relaxing the nervous system. It also helps prevent symptoms of insomnia.

5. Reduces risk of cancer

The calcium content in ice cream also helps in reducing the chances of colon cancer. Apart from being a catalyst to building stronger bones, this particular benefit of calcium makes ice cream all the more beneficial.

In spite of all the benefits that ice cream has, there is no reason to over indulge in it because it also has a large number of disadvantages which are harmful for your health. So relish on ice creams, but in moderation.

 

 

Anyway, enjoy your ice cream where ever you are it doesn’t have to be Summer.
