No, you're not dreaming:an Italian cardiologist had the brilliant idea of developing an ice cream with antioxidant properties. This revolutionary product is said to improve vascular function as well as physical performance. If the inventor of this sweetness does not want to reveal all his secrets, we do know that this ice cream contains cocoa powder, hazelnuts and green tea extract.
A recipe too good to be true? This ice cream with multiple benefits has yet been tested at the University of Rome "Tor Vegata". For this, Valerio Sanguigni, the cardiologist and professor behind this amazing product, invited a group of participants to eat his ice cream. But without knowing it, some were tasting a classic chocolate ice cream, that is to say a placebo. The participants then had to pedal a bike as fast as possible, before undergoing blood tests.
And the results, published in the journal Nutrition, are surprising:vascular function improved in participants who ate the ice cream created by the professor, while no change was observed in those who ate the placebo. “Who said healthy foods taste bad? », concluded Valerio Sanguigni. A report that gives us the delicious hope that indulgence and balance are not incompatible!
