Although there are several health risks associated with high blood pressure (hypertension), ice cream doesn't increase blood pressure as long as portion size is controlled . There have been several reports suggesting that consumption of high-sugar desserts such as ice cream increases blood pressure because they lead people who have high blood pressure or hypertension into consuming higher amounts of sugar compared with those who have normal blood sugar levels . This means that consuming ice cream does not affect your blood pressure but only affects your weight gain if eaten in excess amounts as well as increasing waist circumference , which has been linked with heart diseases . You can however try this at home by cutting down on your sugar intake , consuming healthier fats (eg nuts), having healthy meals at home (ie having low salt diets) or exercising regularly . However eating healthy doesn't mean eating only salads but having healthier meals which includes protein rich foods such as chicken breast , egg whites , etc etc . Having healthy meals can help lower cholesterol levels too!
