Is Ice Cream Good for You?

Ice cream can be a delectable treat, as it’s creamy, cold and sweet. However, like many sugary treats, it’s loaded with calories, sugar and fat menu.

Naturally, you may wonder about the potential downsides of this dessert — and whether you can include it in a healthy diet สมัคร ufabet

High in added sugar.

It’s no secret that ice cream is loaded with sugar.

Many varieties contain 12–24 grams of added sugar in just a 1/2-cup (65-gram) serving.

It’s recommended that you limit added sugars to under 10% of your daily calories, or about 50 grams of sugar for a 2,000-calorie diet.

Thus, one or two small servings can easily push you toward this daily limit.

Additionally, research links excessive sugar intake to multiple health conditions, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

Calorie-dense and low in nutrients

Ice cream is laden with calories but offers few nutrients — aside from calcium and phosphorus.

If you eat as an occasional treat, you shouldn’t worry about its lack of nutrients. However, if you often replace nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, or whole grains with ice cream, your diet could be lacking necessary vitamins and minerals.

Plus, ice cream’s high calorie load may promote weight gain if you eat too much.
