If you haven't had the best year, we've got good news for you. Are you ready? EATING ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST IS GOOD FOR YOU. Yup, researchers carrying out a study in Japan found that participants given ice cream for breakfast had better reaction times and were able to process information more effectively than those who hadn't chowed down on the creamy stuff. The study, originally published by Kyorin University professor Yoshihiko Koga, suggests that indulging in a scoop of ice cream the moment you wake up alters your levels of alertness and gives you a "mental boost." They also attributed ice cream with reducing "mental irritation," which we think translates to "makes you less cranky"; scientists, we are not. Koga uncovered similar results when giving participants a cold glass of water but determined that a dollop of ice cream still garnered higher levels of mental stimulation. To be on the safe side, we're going to have both. So, there you have it.
