Tasty medicine: the top diseases for which ice cream helps

Ice cream is considered a harmful product because of the large amount of sugar and milk in it. Nutritionists are unequivocally against the frequent consumption of this treat. However, doctors of other specialties have managed to prove the usefulness of ice cream in eliminating the symptoms of other diseases:

Tonsillitis

Even 20 years ago, everyone was sure that ice cream in sore throat is contraindicated, as well as any other cold food or drink. But nowadays otorhinolaryngologists unanimously say that not more ice cream can even improve the condition of the patient. Cold dessert contributes to the cooling of the tonsils. As a result, blood supply to the inflamed areas worsens, and, as a consequence, swelling decreases and pain sensations decrease. Of course, it is unwise to replace medication with ice cream, but as a means of alleviating discomfort when swallowing, it is very effective.

Spasms of cerebral vessels

It's a nuisance that causes headaches. It is important to note that ice cream does not eliminate any headache, but only this particular kind. The reason is that under the influence of cold increases blood flow in the brain and expand blood vessels, so that unpleasant sensations pass.

However, for example, migrain can't be defeated by ice cream, because the cause of migraine is exactly opposite - increased blood flow.

Depression

Ice cream, especially chocolate ice cream, is considered one of the most powerful food antidepressants. Scientists have proven that eating ice cream activates the same brain areas that start working when we see our favorite people or do our favorite things. In addition, almost everyone associates ice cream with something pleasant: childhood, a feeling of carefree, happiness.

Summer is the right time to enjoy your favorite kinds of refreshing dessert. The main thing is to be careful not to let a cold meal become a cause of health problems.
