Today is National Ice Cream Day!!

😋 Did you know that Ice cream consumption is linked to positive mood changes?

🍦 Ice cream's sweetness and creamy texture stimulate the release of dopamine and endorphins in the brain.

🍦 These chemicals can help reduce stress and create feelings of happiness and well-being.

🍦 The sensory experience of eating ice cream, including taste and texture, activates the brain's reward system.

🍦 This activation can lead to feelings of satisfaction and enjoyment, further contributing to a positive mood.

🍦 The release of endorphins can help counteract the effects of stress, providing a temporary escape from daily challenges.

🍦 The cooling effect of ice cream, particularly on a hot day, can also be refreshing and calming.

* Note, there are some Heart Healthy options out there. In moderation, ice cream can be included in a heart-healthy diet.
