How to Eat Ice Cream Properly: The Secret to Enjoying Healthy Italian Gelato

On hot summer days, under the scorching sun of Saigon or Hanoi, enjoying a cup of chilled ice cream melting in your mouth always brings an incredibly refreshing sensation. Ice cream is a dessert with irresistible appeal for people of all ages.

However, simply eating it whenever you "feel like it" can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects. So, what does eating ice cream properly mean, so that you can both satisfy your taste buds and protect your health? Join the culinary experts from Baby Boss as they explore the golden rules below!

1. Why Is It Important to Eat Ice Cream Properly?

Many people believe that ice cream is merely a harmless snack. However, ice cream has cooling properties and a very low temperature. If consumed at the wrong time or if you choose the wrong type of industrial ice cream containing numerous chemicals, it can cause thermal shock, a sore throat, or directly affect the digestive system.

Understanding the principles of eating ice cream properly not only helps protect your body but also allows you to fully enjoy the refined flavours of this dish, especially premium products such as Italian Gelato.

2. 7 Rules for Eating Ice Cream Properly That You Should Know

Here is a summary from nutrition experts to help you enjoy ice cream without worrying about harming your health:

2.1. Never eat ice cream on an empty stomach

When your stomach is empty, suddenly taking in a quantity of cold food can cause the stomach's blood vessels to contract, easily leading to cramps or nausea. The ideal time to enjoy Italian Gelato is in the afternoon snack period (between two main meals).

2.2. Avoid eating it immediately after coming in from the sun

Many people have the habit of stopping at an ice cream shop as soon as they come in from the sun to "cool down". This is a serious mistake! The sudden change in temperature from hot to cold can shock the throat, easily leading to a sore throat, a cold or a fever. Sit and rest for around 15 minutes to allow your body to cool down before enjoying your ice cream.

2.3. Say "No" to ice cream containing artificial colourings

To eat ice cream properly and safely, you must choose the right type of ice cream. Stay away from industrial ice cream with unusually bright colours or alarming chemical flavourings. Instead, prioritise ice cream made with natural fruit and organic colours to protect the liver and kidneys.

2.4. Do not refreeze melted ice cream

Once ice cream has melted at room temperature, its microbial structure has already changed. Putting it back in the freezer will not only make it lose its smooth, airy texture and cause ice crystals to form, but will also create conditions for bacteria to multiply.

2.5. Drink a little warm water after eating

After eating ice cream, especially varieties containing a lot of butter and milk, you should take a sip of warm drinking water. This helps clean the mouth, protect tooth enamel and support the stomach in removing some of the remaining fat.

2.6. Limit your portion size

No matter how delicious Italian Gelato is, you should only eat 1-2 scoops (approximately 100-150g) each time you enjoy it. Eating too much cold ice cream at once can numb your taste buds and damage the lining of your throat.

2.7. A small note for women during "that time of the month"

Milk and dairy products contain arachidonic acid – a substance that can stimulate contractions. Therefore, women should limit their consumption of cold ice cream during their menstrual cycle to avoid making abdominal pain more severe.
