Frozen Treats for the Heat

Frozen Treats for the Heat

It’s Summertime and we’re all screaming for ice-cream!

The season indicates that school is out, beach and pool days increase, temperatures rise and we all get excited when we think of ice cream. There is a thrilling and mouth watering feeling that comes when we await the sounds of the ice-cream truck, the man with the ice cream cart, when we go to our favourite ice-cream shop or we buy ice-cream from the supermarket. From the colours to the cool it provides in hot temperatures to the flavourful excitement our taste buds experience, the texture, ice-cream-cream triggers happiness in adults and kids. The joy of the ice cream experience increases when we are given the opportunity to place our favourite toppings on the serving. Toppings that include sweet, savoury and salty treats sends us all to that heavenly place filled with cotton candy, chocolate, whipped cream, sprinkles and so much more.

The psychology of it states that the cold, creamy treat not only provides a cooling sugar high on hot days but it positively affects our mood! Research shows that parts of our brains responsible for sending and receiving pleasurable stimuli has increased activity when we indulge in the yummy goodness of treats such as ice-cream. This delicious fact is part of the reason we all scream for ice cream.

A treat we tend to have more of in the summer that gives feel good experiences? Give us all of it!
