Find Out Why Doctors Actually Recommend You To Have More Ice Cream

Summer is here, and what better way to deal with the sweltering heat than to indulge in the creamy goodness of ice-cream! So if you’re an ice-cream junkie, much like me, I’m sure you’ll agree with the top reasons you can and should include more ice-cream in your diet (or lack thereof). *it’s a pun. Get it?

1. Ice-cream Makes You Happy

The feeling of happiness from eating ice-cream is universal, whether you’re pms-ing or got dumped or you’re just eating cream for the heck of it. Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry in London experimented on people by feeding them vanilla ice-cream. (Yes that really happened! Sigh!) The results demonstrated that the participants showed an increased activity in the “pleasure-center” of their brains. Translation: Ice-cream literally gives people joy.

2. Ice-cream is The Most Popular Dessert in The World

It is a sweet and refreshing platter of creamy delicious perfection. It is no surprise that it is often eaten as dessert in many parts of the world.

3. Ice-cream is Ideal for Some “Me-time”

Anyone obsessed with ice-cream will know that the best way to enjoy a tub of ice-cream is by yourself. Preferably lounging around on the sofa in your pajamas.

4. Ice-cream May Actually Help You Lose Weight

Ice-cream and weight-loss may sound like an oxymoronic statement to make, but that is exactly what is claimed by a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers found that women who consumed one daily serving of a “full-fat dairy product” which technically can include ice-cream, gained less weight than those who did not. They were quick to clarify that this did not mean they recommend women brandish a tub of ice-cream every night, but who cares right? All that matters is the statement--Ice-cream helps weight-loss!

5. Ice-cream Contains Some Important Nutrients

It is common knowledge that ice-cream isn’t exactly what doctors would consider healthy? But that is just doctors. All we need to know that ice-cream (like all food) contains some important nutrients like calcium and vitamins A, C, D, E and phosphorous. It also contains a fair amount of phosphorous. So when someone comments about ice-cream being ‘unhealthy’, you tell em girls!

6. Ice-cream Enhances Female Fertility

The journal Harvard Reproduction has published a study suggesting that women who consumed full-fat milk or ice-cream had an increased chance of conception than those who did not. So all the mid-night ice-cream cravings for pregnant ladies are actually, quite legit.

7. Ice-cream Comes in a Wide Variety of Flavors

The best thing about ice-cream is its ability to be molded around almost any flavor that tickles the taste-buds. If you’re really tired of the same range of flavors, Havmor has just launched some exciting new flavors keeping the Indian consumers in mind. The flavors include Chai-Biscuit, Rose-Petal Punch, Paan, Ras Malai and Shahi Kheer. So go out and get yourself one of these interesting flavors, what are you waiting for?
