"Keeping Cool at The Crossings" with Summer Ice Cream Socials
Our summer ice cream socials are fun for all ages! It’s a great way to gather together, socialize and keep cool on a hot summer’s day.
In fact, families of residents travel far and wide to attend an ice cream social here at The Crossings! MacKenzie and her family drove all the way from Montana to see her Gigi (Grandma Janet) and her Pops (Grandpa Mike) who recently moved into The Crossings. And they were so happy to see their grandkids! She also got to visit with her cousin’s great-grandma Kayla who also lives at The Crossings!
A gathering over ice cream is good for you in so many ways and we found a few good reasons for eating ice cream!
1. It Is Loaded With Vitamins and Minerals!
What a great way to take your vitamins! Ice-cream contains milk and milk solids, which gives your body vitamin D, vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus and riboflavin. And, if it’s dark chocolate ice cream, the benefits are even more because it’s loaded with antioxidants and flavonoids, which helps by lowering your bad cholesterol leading to improved heart health.
2. It Gives You Energy!
Feeling tired and sluggish? Grab a bowl of ice cream! It will give you instant energy because it contains enough sugar to instantly get you feeling pepped up and energized!
3. It Helps Boost Your Immunity!
Ice cream is one type of fermented food which can benefit respiratory and gastrointestinal health. When these two systems are healthy, overall immunity improves.
4. It Helps in Stimulating Your Brain!
We’re not talking “brain freeze” stimulating. According to one study, it was proven that people who had ice cream first thing in the morning were more alert than people who did not have ice cream.
5. It Helps in Strengthening Your Bones!
Our bodies need calcium for strong bone heath. Consuming foods rich in calcium, is one way that our bodies can get the necessary daily requirement of calcium. Ice cream is loaded with calcium! So, pick your favorite flavor and enjoy!
6. It Makes You Happier!
Feeling sad? Grab a big spoon and dig into your favorite flavor of ice cream! There is scientific evidence that eating ice cream can actually cheer you up! Why? Because ice cream produces a hormone known as serotonin; which is also known as a feel-good hormone and makes you feel happy!
So, if you want to” Keep Cool” & “Get Happy”
