NOURISH TO FLOURISH
Ice cream mania
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!! However, for some people , the screaming is not out of excitement , it is due to pain. Some people have a headache which does not go away easily. How is it that some people get a sore throat or itchy throat while some can eat tubs of ice cream and still be fine? Many doctors now agree that it has to do with the blood vessels in the roof of the mouth and the way one eats their ice cream.
Wrong way :
Eating big scoops and swallowing too quickly.
Correct way:
1. Eating with a small spoon. Let the ice cream rest on your tongue for a few seconds and then swallow it. Basically, enjoy it!!
2. If you are one who does not want to take a chance or have forgotten to eat your ice cream slowly, drink a glass of lukewarm water immediately. The blood vessels will come back to the normal state.
Some people are more sensitive than others and therefore will have to keep in mind the above suggestions. This is applicable to all cold foods like chilled drinks, sorbets, chilled yogurt, chilled desserts and chilled fruits.
