Ice cream is a great dessert that saves you from the heat on summer days.
Children and adults like this delicacy. Some cannot refuse their favorite sweet even when they are sick.
There is even an opinion that ice cream is useful for a sore throat.
But is this really true?
The answer to this question was given by otolaryngologist Vladimir Zaitsev, reports the publication Arguments and Facts .
As the doctor noted, if a person falls ill in the hot summer period, then cold dessert should be avoided. The temperature difference will only worsen the situation, lead to hypothermia, and more inflammation.
He also added that it is better to give up other dairy products during illness. Sugar, yeast products and sour foods should also be eliminated from the diet. All this provokes the growth of bacteria. As a result, the recovery process will be delayed.
Heavy and fatty foods will also have to be excluded.
