About a third of the population eating a tasty ice cream causes a sudden headache , which usually disappears within 10 to 30 seconds. Janusz Kaczorowski, from McMaster University, says that the sensation occurs when the ice cream, very cold, touches the roof of the mouth. As the nerves in the palate cool, the blood vessels in the brain dilate and cause migraines.
A study published a few years ago in the British Medical Journal revealed that eating ice cream too quickly increases the probability of suffering from this type of migraine by up to 14%, so it is advisable to take this food slowly. In addition, it is advisable to keep the ice cream on the floor of the mouth while we savor it. And if it comes into contact with the palate, you simply have to touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue until the temperature rises.
