Did you know that besides being good, ice cream is also good for your health?
Well yes experts and nutritionists confirm it: ice cream (the artisan one without hydrogenated fats and dyes) is a complete food, rich in beneficial properties for our body, but also for our mind.
Here are some reasons why you should eat ice cream:
Ice cream is rich in vitamins and minerals
Ice cream is a source of important vitamins for our body such as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E and also K, essential for maintaining the levels of some coagulation factors. But in the ice cream we also find a lot of calcium and phosphorus, two mineral salts that help fight many ailments such as osteoporosis, kidney stones or even the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
Ice cream is a complete food
Ice cream provides the body with all the nutrients it needs: carbohydrates, proteins and fats (in addition to vitamins and minerals) and is also a highly digestible food. For this reason it can replace a complete meal, especially during the summer.
Ice cream is refreshing and a friend of the diet.
In addition to having a high nutritional value, ice cream also helps to replenish liquids because it contains a lot of water and is ideal if you are on a diet.
Fruit flavors in fact have a low calorie content and are rich in antioxidants while if you opt for hazelnut or pistachio you will fill up on omega 3 and omega 6.
Ice cream makes you happy
When we eat ice cream we stimulate the production of serotonin, also known as the hormone of happiness as it helps fight stress.
In milk we also find Tryptophan, or a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Ice cream also helps fight insomnia symptoms.
Ice cream helps prevent diseases such as cancer
Thanks to its high calcium content, a healthy and balanced consumption of ice cream helps prevent the development of diseases such as colon cancer.
In short, ice cream, if consumed in moderation, is truly a healthy, complete, tasty and rich in properties that are good for the body and psyche.
