Hot cocoa a health drink?
When it comes to health drinks, brands like Gatorade, Powerade, and EAS come to mind. Well, according to new research out of Cornell University, we can now add Hershey's to that list.
Based on a recent study, researchers found that hot cocoa can help your muscles recover from an intense workout. The tasty drink contains twice as many antioxidants as a glass of red wine, and almost five times as many as black tea.
Antioxidants have been shown to mitigate free radical damage, thus reducing the risk of certain types of cancer and heart disease. Free radical damage can also be caused by intense bouts of exercise, making a cup of hot cocoa a very healthy choice for regular exercisers.
