It might help to improve brainpower
One study carried out in Japan found that ice cream could actually help to make us more alert. The research compared the impact of eating ice cream for breakfast with having a glass of cold water instead. Those taking part in the study who had the ice cream were found to be much more alert. So, if you’re looking for a brainpower boost during a hot summer day, ice cream could provide it.

The calcium in ice cream is beneficial
In fact, it’s a key component for helping to building strong teeth and bones in humans. Bones and teeth are 99% calcium and ice cream contains plenty of this thanks to the milk and cream ingredients. So, as well as a taste sensation you could also be getting a calcium boost every time you’re eating ice cream too.
Soothing soreness
From mouth ulcers through to a sore throat, ice cream has traditionally been a great way to soothe soreness. If you have a summer cold, you’re losing your voice or you’re suffering from an epidemic of mouth ulcers then some ice cream could help temporarily ease the pain.
