Benefits of Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate is made of cocoa powder. Cocoa powder contains antioxidants.
Antioxidants are compounds that clean your body by neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable, charged molecules that roam freely in the cells and can damage cells resulting in aging, cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants stabilize/neutralize the free radicals by lending them a free electron. A stable molecule does not damage the cells and cause oxidative stress. Our bodies naturally produce some antioxidants, whereas others come from foods such as cocoa powder, sea moss, vegetables and nuts.
Cocoa powder also contains flavonoids which are plant compounds. Flavonoids protect your heart and overall health.
When you combine cocoa's antioxidants with sea moss minerals, you get the perfectly healthy and tasty recipe that's perfect for winters.
