"Life is like an ice cream: Enjoy it before it melts."
We've been under an Excessive Heat Warning in the Las Vegas Valley for several days. So what's new, right?
It's 110° in the shade and you're thinking, I need ice cream! But then the little guy on your shoulder says, "You don't need this, it's bad for you!"
But, is it really? Let's take a look at the facts and let me see if I can convince you to grab a scoop or two this weekend.
[Shawn Stevens] via Beasley Media GroupMany people much smarter than me with letters after their names, titles and degrees have done the research to back it up. I don't have any of that. I'm a self appointed Dr. of all things ice cream and I just know ice cream cools you down, calms you down and just makes you feel better. And, you can get it without a prescription!
So let's take a look at the health benefits of indulging in a little frozen deliciousness.
Vitamins:
Ice cream is a source of many vitamins, including A, B-6, B-12, C, D and E (and a bunch of other letters)!
Energy:
Ice cream is rich with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are all, needed for our bodies to produce energy. And, who doesn't need more energy?
Minerals:
Good for the body minerals like calcium and phosphorus are found in ice cream.
Brain Stimulation:
Of course we can all use a little brain stimulation and ice cream can do it by increasing the thrombotonin, which is a hormone of happiness and helps in reducing the levels of stress in the body.
"Ice cream is cheaper than therapy."
It all sounds so Vanilla and boring. But seriously, we can all use more happiness and less stress.
So, as the unofficial Doc of Rock-yroad, the MD of Moose Chips, I say throw some sprinkles to the wind!
Have a double scoop on Saturday and a sundae on Sunday and enjoy your guilty pleasure armed with the knowledge that not only does ice cream make you feel good, but it's good for you!
And remember, "The best time for ice cream is always"

Who doesn't love cheap eats?
Let us rephrase this. Who doesn't love a cheap meal that tastes amazing?
As inflation creeps up, finding cheap eats is getting more and more difficult.
According to a recent report by the Associated Press, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce one of the largest interest hikes since 1994.
This is a bigger increase than previously projected, according to the AP, and is a signal that "the central bank is struggling to restrain stubbornly high inflation."
Along with this, the cost of food has shot up, which means that everything in the supply chain will feel the affects from it. And trust us, our regular orders at our go-to places have increased in price! Consumers have also changed their shopping habits, especially at the grocery store, due to rising inflation, according to CNBC.
Plus, people are getting more concerned about food prices. In a survey conducted by The Harris Poll and Alpha Foods, 90% of Americans are concerned about food prices.
Prices of the foundations in the food pyramid such as meat, oils, grains and wheat have increased. And this is due to many factors such as the rising cost of fertilizer and energy, according to CNBC. There also have been food-export bans and disruptions from nations that supply wheat, oats, sugar, and palm oil, which are in most -- if not all -- foods.
With all of this being said, it's harder than ever to find a cheap meal that satisfies our hunger.
And although Las Vegas is thought to be a city of exclusive dining and expensive restaurant bills, we're here to prove this stereotype wrong!
