So - hot chocolate IS good for you, after all!

"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."

Turns out that free radical damage can also come from intense exercise, and that antioxidant-rich hot chocolate can help with that AND the sore muscles that come after a hard workout.
