3 Health Benefits of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
#1: Promotes Healthy Skin
From cream to serums to needles prodding your face, there are more skin care treatments out there nowadays than hours in a day to use them all.
One secret to healthy skin that cosmetic companies won’t tell you is having a healthy diet. Introducing foods like collagen (the main structural protein found in your skin) may be the key to anti-aging.
In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers gave a group of women aged 35-55 either collagen supplementation or placebo then measured the effects the supplements had on their skin.
After four weeks the women taking the collagen showed significantly improved skin elasticity, with improvement to skin moisture as well[*].
#2: Supports Eye Health
Have you ever wondered where your egg yolks get their beautiful golden color? The same place that marigolds do — the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin.
These two antioxidant phytonutrients are found in abundance in your eyes, and protect your retina from harmful blue light, and fight off oxidative damage[*].
Years of damage to the eye can result in age-related eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts.
Lutein and zeaxanthin may protect your eyes against age-related diseases through their antioxidant activity and affinity to your eyes[*][*].
#3: Immune Boosting
While ice cream may not be your go-to flu remedy, the coconut cream used in this recipe is loaded with immune-boosting nutrients that may help you fight off infection.
Lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid (MCT), found in coconut is well-known for its immune boosting activity. In your body lauric acid is converted into another compound, called monolaurin.
Monolaurin acts as a powerful antiviral and antibacterial helping your immune defenses fight against foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria[*].
One issue with traditional antibiotics is that bacteria often become resistant to them over time. In one study, researchers tested monolaurin against skin infection-causing bacteria. They found that monolaurin had a statistically significant sensitivity against the bacteria, showing very little resistance[*].
