Proven: eating ice cream makes you a smarter person

Look, we can do something with this. Eating a lot of ice cream without guilt suddenly seems to come a step closer. According to researchers, eating ice cream not only provides a happy feeling, but it could also make you a smarter person. For the study from Kyorin University, participants were served ice for breakfast right after getting up, after which they, just like a group of people who didn't get ice cream, had to perform a number of mental tests on the computer. And guess what? The people who started their day with ice cream processed the information faster and better than those who had a normal breakfast. And that's not all. Although you may have felt it in your body before, this same research has shown that your ‘orbitofrontal cortex’, or the part of your brain that gives you a feeling of happiness, is greatly activated thanks to this same ice cream. I say: tonight to the ice cream parlor, or maybe even better: tomorrow a Magnum Ruby for breakfast, ha-ha.
