During summer, people loved and liked to eat some refreshing foods like an ice cream. People loved to eat this to relieved the stress brought by the heat of summer. However, I am just wondering if ice cream is really ideal to relieved the heat that we feel. Since, after we tend to eat an ice cream, still, we need to drink a water, to make our body refresh.
How about you, do you really think that ice cream is really a refreshing food for summer?

I love ice cream and I can eat it any time of the year and in any season hot or cold.It is the pleasure of eating something as delicious as that which is more important to me than helping me beat the heat.Normally drinking very cold drinks tend to make you feel warmer after a while...all the best

Good day kiran8,
You are right. Ice cream can also be eaten during cold season. And as you have said, it can be for any season.

Good day to you ebuscat,
Well, that is a good thirst quencher especially if the juice is very cold.

You know I am not too sure if ice cream is that great to beat the heat with. Because I too always need to drink lots of water after eating ice cream, but it does cool me off, so I am not sure it seems kind of a toss up on if its a good one or not.

yes, ice cream is ONE of the refreshing food for summer.it has a cooling effects but won't last longer than water.since it is sweet so eating a lot of ice cream is unhealthy for ourselves.plus sweet foods won't help much in releasing the body heat.that's why we still need to drink water even if after we ate an ice cream.

For me, ice cream is one of the refreshing food out there but it doesn't mean it could take away your thirst. It's just fun to eat ice cream especially in summer.

Ice cream is always a refreshing food. It doesn't always have to be a summertime treat. Ice cream can be enjoyed all year. Ice cream is one of the best ways to cool down those long hot summer days. When you are sizzling, ice cream is definitely a refreshing cure.

A lot of people like to eat ice cream during the summer. I think its the best thing to can get when the whether is really hot. Its also available almost everywhere. But as for me, I'd rather drink slush as a refreshing food for summer. Slush is better for me cause I'm thinking its healthy cause its made of fruits.

Yes, it's a refreshing food for the summer. I don't say that it's the ideal one, but it refreshes, it's cold, tasty, liquid, etc... However, aren't the more liquid foods like the water melon more refreshing? Never mind, and yes, even after a big cup of ice cream, I still fee a need of water and I feel better if I drink something. I don't know why.

I never was obsessed with icecream like most people I know.I do love it though and I really love spending summer nights thinking and eating icecream.So yes,I do think icecream is a really refreshing food for summer.

Of course it is refreshing food for summer.
When it is hot it is really nice when you eat something cold.
One minus is that after I eat ice-cream I want to drink water and there isn't always water when I'm eating my ice-cream. This is what I hate about it, but without water it is still refreshing ;)
