Ice cream is a delicacy that not only cools you down in the South Florida heat, but also is a sweet treat that can make any occasion better. In recent years, different studies in countries like Japan, India and the U.S. have discovered that eating ice cream for breakfast is beneficial not only for your mental health, but also your mental development.
According to Tokyo’s Kyorin University study, ice cream is said to awaken the brain, sharpening our brain and improving our mental health. With July being National Ice Cream month and being amidst a pandemic, now, more than ever, is the time to indulge in eating ice cream, especially for breakfast.
Ice cream’s sweet taste and creamy consistency are said to be two of the major contributing factors in why ice cream can make us feel better and happier. Ice cream is also a food that contains a lot of fats, which are often found in comfort foods as well.
Yoshihiko Koga, the professor at Kyorin University who did the ice cream for breakfast study, also found that eating ice cream actually triggers positive emotions, and in times like these, positivity is crucial in order to not be overwhelmed by everything occurring.
Luckily for us, South Florida is home to many delicious ice cream spots that are sure to chase any blues away.
