Is ice cream always bad? Surprisingly, a good source of this nutrient.

Ice cream is a dessert often enjoyed during the hot summer months, but it also affects nutrition and health.

Considering that, it's difficult to enjoy freely.

However, an article was published in the UK Daily Mail stating that ice cream is not necessarily bad for health.

British certified nutritionist Shelley Vols states, "Two-thirds of a cup of dairy ice cream is calcium,"

It was said that consuming ice cream can fulfill 12% of the daily recommended calcium intake.

While enjoying the sweet taste of ice cream, the calcium content varies depending on the type of ice cream.

His explanation is that there are benefits to consuming calcium appropriately.

He explains that it is not only a good source of calcium but also a good source of protein.

VOLS nutritionist said, "There are differences depending on the ice cream product, but ice cream per serving size..."

It provides about 6 grams of protein.

This is equivalent to the amount of one egg or a handful of nuts such as almonds.

The combination of protein and fat in ice cream slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream, thereby delaying blood sugar levels.

He said it has the effect of preventing a rapid increase.

However, this is only the claim of some experts.

It is absolutely forbidden to overconsume just because there are some nutritional benefits in certain aspects.

Ice cream contains many ingredients such as sugar and saturated fats that damage blood vessels and cause inflammation in the body.

Eat ice cream, but it is necessary to adjust the frequency appropriately.

Enjoying ice cream in a healthy way as much as possible can also be helpful.

It is recommended to consume sherbet types rather than milk ice cream types.

Sherbet refers to a frozen dessert made by straining fruit or fruit juice through a sieve, then mixing in gelatin, liquor, etc., and freezing until solid.

It can be a healthier alternative because it has less fat content than milk ice cream varieties.

Adding healthy toppings such as almonds, oats, or chia seeds to store-bought ice cream

▲Milk ▲Protein powder ▲Nuts ▲Artificial sweeteners, etc., can be used to make homemade ice cream. You can choose basic ingredients such as the amount of sugar, making it more nutritious.
