Hot chocolate is a dessert drink that always contains cocoa, as well as milk or water and sugar. In addition to the abundance of vitamins and macro- and microelements, cocoa drinks contain biologically active substances that increase working capacity and stimulate mental activity. However, with all its attractiveness and benefits, cocoa has a strong stimulating effect on the nervous system, so cocoa products are recommended to be used sparingly, especially for children.
