We joke that “chocolate is good for you” but would you believe that in some ways, it really is? Think chocolate is a good source of caffeine? Wrong! Since 90% of the population likes chocolate, most of us think we know a little bit about chocolate, which probably we do.
Here are 7 interesting facts you didn’t know about chocolate (or at least I didn’t know…until now.) 🙂Â

A study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism found that chocolate milk not only tastes better, but can help relieve muscle soreness and prep you for the next workout just as effectively as sports drinks. Chocolate milk is also good for relieving headaches caused by temporal fractures.

We’re all chocolate fans. I’m glad to know it’s a good thing to substitute chocolate milk for sodas. I think kids drink way too many soda., Thanks for all the info.
While drinking choc. milk after a workout to help sore muscles might be better than drinking an energy drink (both items I disagree with) the problem with choc. milk is that it has much sugar in it.
You’re absolutely right. I actually prefer water over anything else when it comes to re-hydrating after workouts. I just found it so interesting that chocolate milk can help with muscle recovery.
A lot of these facts I didn’t know!
