It Isn’t Winter Without Hot Chocolate!

Sometimes, cold and snowy winter days just don’t feel right without a cup of hot chocolate. This might sound like an indulgence, but hot chocolate can have some healthy benefits if prepared correctly. Recently, researchers at Cornell University determined that cocoa has more cancer fighting antioxidants than red wine or green tea.

This doesn’t mean a person should drink unlimited quantities of hot cocoa or that they can’t get these types of antioxidants from other lower calorie foods. However, feel good about indulging and satisfying your chocolate craving once in a while. It definitely can take the edge of on those bitter cold days!
