Extended data

Eating hot chocolate in moderation is good for our health. There are two specific points:

1. Typical hot chocolate is made of chocolate (or cocoa powder), milk and sugar. Chocolate contains theobromine and a small amount of caffeine, which is a mild excitatory substance, which can stimulate the brain to produce serotonin and endorphins, making people feel refreshed and comfortable. Chocolate is rich in phenylethylamine and magnesium, which plays an important role in people's mood regulation, so hot chocolate can not only refresh people, but also make people feel euphoric, drive away gray emotions and relieve stress.

2. Hot chocolate is also a nutritious drink. It contains more minerals, vitamin B2 and polyphenols which are beneficial to human health. The added sugar and milk also increase its calorie, high-quality protein and calcium content. If we drink a cup of hot chocolate every day and keep a certain amount of exercise, people will enjoy delicious food without harming their health. ?
