 It's okay to have a scoop or two now and then, but it's not good to have it too often because it can result in serious health hazards. Here’s how:-


Risk of Diabetes

Ice cream contains a lot of sugar. Regular consumption of ice cream can cause spikes in blood sugar, increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a growing health concern globally.


Weakened Immunity:

Excessive ice cream intake can weaken your immune system. It can cause common problems like sore throat, cold, cough, or fever, especially when consumed in excess. Instead, it is better to drink water or natural juices during the hot/summer days.


Obesity:

Obesity is a huge health concern, and ice cream is high in calories. Just  2-3 scoops can be over 1000 calories. Constant overeating can lead to obesity and other related health issues.


Heart Disease Hazard:

Ice usually contains saturated fat. These fats will elevate one’s triglyceride and cholesterol levels within the body along which can actually increase the risk for heart disease in the long run.


While ice cream can be a delightful treat, moderation is key. Think about healthier alternatives such as frozen yogurt, fruit-based sorbets, or simply reducing portion sizes. Optimize your well-being this summer and have a taste of treats with a purpose!
