Although it may not seem like it, ice creams should be incorporated into our diet more often than we think. The report known as "The White Paper of Ice Cream" , edited by the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine and elaborated by different professors in nutrition, it details the virtues of this food.

In accordance with Juan Manuel Esparza, one of the experts, "the ice cream is not only a dessert but it can be an ideal complement of a healthy snack, part of a lunch or a dinner". The reason is very simple: "contributes vitamin B2 , calcium Y proteins . It is a good complement if it is tasted in its proper measure ".

7 beneficial effects of eating ice cream

Another American study showed that eating ice cream:

1. It helps to lose weight.

2. Strengthens bones

3. Fat burn.

4. Regulates blood pressure

5. Soften the period pains.

6. Prevents stones in the kidney.

7. Invigorates the immune system.

According to Bernardo Lafuente, Argentine nutritionist doctor, "ice cream contains a lot of calcium and that causes more calories to be burned, hence its double virtue. On the one hand, weight can be lost, on the other a protective bone effect is exerted ".

A good option to ingest more calcium

In the opinion of the Spanish nutritionist Diana Roig, among the ice creams that are made from a dairy base, most are made up of skimmed milk, sugars and fats, while those made from water (snow or sorbets) are formed mainly by water, sugars and fruit juices.

In addition, according to the expert, there are some that contain fresh milk and are rich in calcium, becoming is "a good option to complete the calcium intake of those people who, for tastes or habits, do not consume dairy, or for those who require an additional contribution of it".

Along with these properties, ice creams also have other advantages, as their texture makes them easily chewable foods, while their sweet and refreshing flavor influences the mood, generating a sensation of pleasure unique to these foods.

As you can see, far from the myth that condemns ice cream, it has been shown that its consumption has more benefits than disadvantages.
