Rich Ice Cream good for pregnancy

Did you know that eating rich ice cream and drinking whole-fat milk, and using heavy cream for coffee, may help reward women shooting for pregnancy.
Women wanting to become pregnant should consider changing low-fat dairy foods to high-fat foods, for instance by swapping skimmed milk for whole milk and eating rich ice cream.
Also these women should maintain normal calorie intake and limit their consumption of saturated fats. Once they have become pregnant, they are advised to switch back to low-fat dairy foods.
On the other hand, if pregnancy is not the goal, low-fat dairy foods, such as skimmed milk and low-fat yogurt, may the better bill of fare.
In a turn-about from the standard health prescription, researchers found that women who ate two or more portions of low-fat dairy foods a day increased their risk of ovulation-related infertility by 85%, compared with women who ate less than one portion a week according the Feb. 28 issue of Human Reproduction
If women ate at least one portion of high-fat dairy food a day, their risk of infertility was 27% lower compared with women who had one high-fat dairy serving a week, or even less.
The study also found that the more ice cream the women ate, the lower their risk, so that a woman eating ice cream two or more times a week had a 38% lower risk compared with a woman who ate ice cream less often than once a week.
Tip: Baskin Robbins and Haagen Dazs are at every corner of all the Shopping Malls in Dubai.
