Let us move towards some more interesting topic and talk about ice creams now. Summers are coming and so are the ice creams. Not only kids but even adults are fond of eating them, It’s another thing, if someone doesn’t like to confess that openly. 
So, Let us begin with ice creams today. As you might be knowing they are no more a seasonal food (yes, they are a kind of food as per their nutritional values), and we can have them in any season. Thanks to the latest refrigeration, and again preservative technologies. 
Firstly, we would be shortlisting their benefits and drawbacks, and then will be discussing about their importance as a part of our “frequent diet”.
Did you know that an ice cream cone can have as many calories as a three-course meal??
Yes, thats been proved scientifically. Watch what you put into your cone, as well as on it. Choose regular over premium ice creams; small instead of medium or large cones; small instead of double or triple scoops; and avoid toppings. There is such a wide variety of tempting toppings available- like, chocolate, caramel, or hot fudge syrups; chocolates, candy, or cookie pieces; sprinkles; marshmallows; nuts; and whipped cream- that you can easily spend over 100 calories on toppings alone. And beware of the cone you use: A sugar cone has about 60 calories while a chocolate-dipped waffle cone has more than 200. What could start out as a simple 175-calorie dessert can end up having as many calories as a full course meal. Check on various other internet resources for calorie count and fat gram content of ice cream from the major chains,you will be wondering you did that!

Benefits of ice creams:
- They are a good source of calcium.
- Ice creams provide proteins and are easily digestible. This makes them important as a high-calorie nutrition during an illness.
Drawbacks:
- They are high in saturated fat and sugar. So, can prove harmful (if eaten regularly) for the people with high blood glucose levels (diabetics), obese people (high body fat) and even heart patients or patients suffering from cardiovascular problems.
