Most of our compatriots are very fond of ice cream. Some foreigners, having been in Russia, tell in horror at home that Russians eat ice cream even in winter, in thirty degrees of frost, and on the street.
It can be said that there are some exaggerations in this, but in general everything is correct. In Russia, both children and adults buy ice cream for any reason: to eat, calm their nerves, "charge" their brains, just satisfy their hunger, cool off on a hot day, etc. Attitudes towards ice cream are different, especially among nutritionists. Someone thinks that you can eat it almost every day, while someone does not recommend more than twice a week.
Harmful or helpful?
Whether ice cream is harmful to health or healthy, it is impossible to say for sure. Most likely, the well-known statement that applies to almost any food product will be true - everything needs a measure. And ice cream can also be both relatively healthy and harmful.
What is this product
What kind of product is ice cream? Ice cream can be soft or hardened - this is about the method of production. Soft ice cream is never colder than -5°C, cannot be stored for a long time, and is very delicate in taste. Hardened ice cream is frozen in factories down to -25°C, and can be stored in this form for a whole year. It is very dense and hard.
Ice cream also differs according to the degree of fat content: milk, cream, ice cream and fruit and berry.
What is ice cream made of
The question of what everyone's favorite ice cream is made of is of interest to everyone who monitors their diet and health in general. There is no fat in fruit and berry ice cream, and the sugar content is about 30%. This ice cream is made from natural fruit juices and purees.
There is less sugar in milk ice cream - up to 16%, but there is fat. True, it is less than in other types of ice cream - cream and ice cream - only 6%. Creamy ice cream can contain up to 10% fat and up to 15% sugar, and ice cream - up to 15% fat - this is the fattest ice cream variety.
Natural animal fats are a wonderful product that gives us strength and energy. However, at present, many manufacturers began to use not only natural milk fat, but also a mixture of vegetable fats. They explain this by the fact that this way ice cream becomes less high-calorie, and also more affordable. All this is true, but the nutritional value of such ice cream seems doubtful, especially against the background of the use of various fillers and emulsifiers.
Ice cream from natural products contains many useful substances, at least a hundred: more than 20 amino acids, 25 fatty acids, 20 vitamins, 30 mineral salts and important enzymes necessary for normal metabolism. That is why they say that a portion of ice cream can not only calm down, but also “charge” the brain.
Ice cream is useful if it is made from natural milk. That is when it is nutritious and high in calories, restores energy and really satisfies hunger - much better than a Snickers bar.
They say that some otolaryngologists advise eating ice cream regularly to develop a kind of local immunity in order to accustom the throat to low temperatures. Of course, it is better to do this gradually, and eat ice cream in small amounts - if you need it at all.
Who can't
However, experts from the Institute of Nutrition believe that ice cream is not good for everyone. There are those who, unfortunately, cannot. And there are not many such people. First of all, due to the high calorie content of natural ice cream (100 g of the product can contain up to 500 kcal) and its sugar content, ice cream is not recommended for people who are overweight, as well as those with diabetes.
Those with high cholesterol should not eat ice cream made with animal fats. Most nutritionists do not recommend frequent use of flavored ice cream varieties: strawberry, lemon and others, as they contain artificial additives and fruit essences. It is best to give preference to fruit and berry varieties of ice cream.
Milk ice cream contains less fat than other types, and therefore is less caloric. However, easily digestible sugar is sufficient large quantities found in any ice cream, and it can quickly increase blood glucose levels.
Frequent use of ice cream can cause headaches. It seems incredible, but, according to medical statistics, about a third of people in the world suffering from headaches experience it precisely because of an addiction to ice cream. Eating ice cream, especially if you are in a hurry, lowers your body temperature too quickly, constricts blood vessels, and less blood flows to the brain, which causes a headache.
People suffering from coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and caries, it is better to refrain from eating ice cream, or enjoy it only occasionally. Even healthy people should not eat ice cream every day, but only two, maximum three times a week.
As for children, first of all, they should not be allowed to replace ice cream with a full meal. However, here the opinions of experts are divided: some advise giving ice cream to children as a dessert, immediately after the main meal, explaining that this way it will not be able to kill the appetite; others do not recommend doing this, since ice cream after a meal makes digestion difficult.
You can find a middle ground and give children ice cream, for example, as an afternoon snack, with sour wild berries - they help the body absorb fats and sugar more easily.
How to eat right
And how to eat ice cream so that it benefits the body? Let's say a few words about the culture of eating ice cream. Most people are accustomed to eating ice cream on the go, having bought it on the street. Thus, along with ice cream, we eat street dust, dirt and car exhausts - after all, ice cream absorbs all this instantly. If you already bought ice cream on the street, then at least go to a park or a summer cafe, and it is best to eat ice cream at home.
In fact, if you follow the measure, that is, almost everyone can have ice cream. Most experts believe that 100g of ice cream a week will not harm anyone. By the way, in our country ice cream is consumed 4-10 times less than in Europe or the USA.
How to make cream ice cream
And now the fun part: how you can make ice cream at home. For example, to make creamy ice cream at home, you will need whipped cream and egg yolks. If desired, you can add alcohol, vanillin or honey - as natural flavors. It will turn out very tasty and healthy ice cream, and most importantly - natural, because you yourself will monitor the quality of the ingredients. A little practice, and the technology for making homemade ice cream will be established. Shall we try?
Ice cream is more convenient to prepare in an ice cream maker - manual or electric. There are two reservoirs in a manual ice cream maker: you need to fill the inner one and put it in the outer reservoir filled with ice and salt. To thicken the ice cream, you will have to rotate the handle of the ice cream maker for at least 20-30 minutes, but it should not harden.
Using a manual ice cream maker can be quite tiring, especially if you enjoy serving ice cream to your guests. In this case, it is better to purchase an electric ice cream maker, in which it is easy to prepare a lush and tasty creamy mass.
There are many recipes for making ice cream today, and the rules for making good ice cream are quite simple, but their observance requires some patience. All ingredients must be fresh, otherwise the taste will not be very pleasant.
Cream with a fat content of at least 30% must be fresh and chilled. Beat the yolks with sugar in a hot water bath until a thick foam is obtained, and then cool for cold water with ice.
Proteins need to be whipped until they begin to shine like snow. To do this, they, as well as the dishes, should be cooled before whipping, and while whipping, add a little salt. The prepared mass must be immediately put in the freezer, otherwise it will quickly begin to fall off, and lose its taste and tenderness.
Such ice cream can be stored in the freezer for several weeks - in plastic containers, but it is better to eat it in the first week after preparation - that's when it is most delicious.
Before serving, take the ice cream out of the freezer and leave it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Never refreeze thawed ice cream.

You are mistaken if you think that eating habits say nothing about your personality. On the contrary, even such a trifle as the choice of ice cream can tell a lot about the habits and character of a person. Let's get acquainted with the characteristics of several of the most popular flavors!
Vanilla ice cream lovers are impulsive
Vanilla ice cream is one of the most classic and simple, however, its fans are likely to be versatile personalities, impulsive idealists who are ready to take risks and like to rely on intuition more than logic. This is evidenced by the research of neurologist Alan Hirsch, founder of an organization dedicated to the study and therapy based on smell and taste. Vanilla ice cream lovers openly express their emotions, they easily manage to create close relationships. For his research, Hirsch used standard psychiatric tests and statistical analysis, as a result, it was found that the same part of the brain controls both personality traits and taste preferences. Interestingly, Hirsch also found that we find our favorite flavor of ice cream in childhood and usually stay with it throughout our lives. 
Strawberry ice cream lovers are introverts
Hirsch's study found that the taste of strawberries attracted tolerant, dedicated introverts. In addition, fans of this flavor of ice cream are usually thoughtful and act extremely logically. They are balanced and check every step they take. Perhaps that is why they prefer one of the most classic flavors of ice cream. 
Chocolate ice cream - for the flirtatious
If chocolate ice cream is your favorite, chances are you enjoy flirting and seducing people. Chocolate is the choice of energetic, charming, emotional people. They are as addictive as mouth-watering chocolate-flavoured desserts, so perhaps this is not a coincidence. 
Wranglers choose mint chocolate chip ice cream
Like to combine the incongruous? Chances are, in this case, you like mint ice cream with chocolate chips. This choice of taste indicates an ambitious character, it is characteristic of self-confident people who are not afraid of confrontation. Such a person does not like to look in everything positive sides, he does not give up and does not agree to small things. Also, it's worth noting that two fans of mint chocolate ice cream are likely to get along great with each other and be able to form a strong relationship. Love to argue will not interfere with them - together they will prove their point of view to the world around them. 
Popsicle connoisseurs are pessimistic
Oddly enough, the rich color and fruity flavor of this frozen dessert is nothing like the mood of those who prefer it. Dr. Hirsch's research has shown that people who choose popsicles tend to be quite pessimistic. However, this is not all - they are distinguished by their decisiveness and analytical mindset. Perhaps excessive pessimism is caused by rationality of thinking, which makes the realistic approach too clear and strict. 
Ice cream lovers with raisins and nuts are aggressive
If you enjoy a wide variety of scents, you may be aggressive and easily carried away, but you are also a good listener. It has also been found that lovers of this taste often achieve success in life, but their aggressive behavior often hurts the feelings of those around them. Having set a goal for himself, such a person can go towards it without thinking about how actions affect people close to him. 
Coffee lovers tend to be dramatic
If you are full of energy, emotions and approach life with taste, you most likely love coffee ice cream. Hirsch's research revealed that coffee tastes good for people who don't like to worry about the future, live in the present, and have a constant need for excitement when they're in a relationship. With this approach, one cannot expect stability, on the other hand, one can look at it as a guarantee of the absence of boredom. 
Ice cream with stracciatella likes generous
If you choose this classic taste, you must be a generous, self-confident person who achieves the goals that he sets for himself. If such a person decides that he needs to change something in his life, he will definitely change it. You can always rely on such firmness of character. 
Nut ice cream - for the conscientious
Nut connoisseurs are loyal, conscientious and respectful of others. Their standards are high, they know how to distinguish truth from deceit and try not to hurt the feelings of other people. Such a person will be loved by others, he knows how to create a warm atmosphere and is always ready to support a loved one in trouble, he is open and calm.
The character of a person can be revealed by such trifles as intonation, facial expressions, appearance, hairstyle, type of shoes and much more. Not to mention the sign of the zodiac and the name, in the meaning of which many believe. But it turns out that in order to understand who you are dealing with, it is enough to pay attention to what kind of ice cream a person prefers and how he eats it.
