Sooo, with all the news that is being generated about dark chocolate and its benefits have you joined yet???
Yes, joined the many people that are reaping the benefits of dark chocolate.
Research has shown that dark chocolate is a natural appetite suppressant. And I am a wonderful example of this known fact. In just one month, I have lost 18lbs!!! Yes, 18lbs and just by eating chocolate. Not just any type of chocolate... The chocolate I have been consuming is called Healthy Chocolate!!!
This chocolate is not made the traditional way. The traditional method of making chocolate uses a heat process. Xocai's Healthy Chocolate is made with a cold press process....this process is exclusive to MXI and it has the world wide exclusive patent on this process!!!
By using a cold press process the nutrients are contained within the chocolate. The antioxidant levels of unprocessed cacao are the highest of any other product on the planet!!!
This unprocessed cacao is then combined with the acai berry and blueberries to give the ultimate antioxidant values!!
I have not only lost weight...some other wonderful effects that I have noticed are the disappearance of joint pain and the ability to have restless sleep... Yes, I can now sit indian style without any pain, where in the past, I could barely bend down. I am able to sleep more soundly and all because of the consumption of this wonderful Healthy Chocolate!!!
Sooooo, what are you waiting for??? Have you joined the many that are now enjoying HEALTHY CHOCOLATE???

Reasons to add Dk Chocolate and Acai to your lives
It's all over the news.... the benefits of dark chocolate and the acai berry....but does everyone really know why those two main products are soooo good for us????
Well, I will list just a few reasons that they are very important to add to our health regimen---
1. Both the acai berry and dark chocolate contain FIBER.. The fiber will help the digestive system, eliminating wastes...And healthy chocolate does not have any transfatty acids...
2. Studies have shown that the consumption of dark chocolate may PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN..Cocoa contains mood-elevating chemicals that help people feel more energy and want to exercise more, which will also contribute to weight loss.
3. If you have high blood pressure, daily bar-sized servings of flavonol-rich dark chocolate may LOWER your BLOOD PRESSURE and improve insulin resistance.
4. Research studies have shown, dark healthy chocolate LOWERS BAD CHOLESTEROL...
5. Research studies have shown the nutrients in cocoa and acai are able to INHIBIT different INFLAMMATORY MECHANISMS. This is important because chronic inflammation has been linked to cancer and cardiovascular disease.
6. Both cocoa and the acai berry has been used for centuries as a food staple and to cleanse and DETOXIFY the body.
7. MORE NUTRITIOUS --- unprocessed dark chocolate is an excellent replacement for other candies, including white and milk chocolate...
8. DESTROY FREE RADICALS----our bodies are bombarded with free radicals on a daily basis, which causes aging, wrinkles, illnesses, fibromyalgia, to just name a few. Cocoa and acai berries provide antioxidant support to destroy the free radicals that are invading our bodies.
9. SUPPLIES THE BODY WITH CRUCIAL MINERALS---- Magnesium is essential in over 300 biological reactions in the body and is very important for energy production. Nerves, heart, muscle functions, bone health and blood clotting are dependent upon adequate magnesium....high magnesium intake has shown to lower blood pressure, reduce risks of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and osteoporosis.....
These are just a few reasons to add unprocessed cocoa and acai to your daily lifestyles.... Our healthy chocolate is made with unprocessed cocoa and also contains the acai berry. Our chocolates are made with a cold process which keeps all the phytonutrients necessary for our bodies to function at their maximum. This world wide, exclusive, patented cold process is used to make the Xocai chocolates and products.

Eat Your Vegetables or Eat Chocolate??
Hmmmmm, you must be wondering why I mentioned vegetables and chocolate in my title...well, I will tell you...
As a mom to 5 children, it isn't always easy to get everyone to eat their vegetables or eat healthy snacks. Actually it is quite difficult. I have found that unless you drown the spinach in cheese or broccoli in butter, the kids won't touch it!!!
Well, what if I told you that you could give them a chocolate nugget that was equivalent to 1 pound of broccoli or 1/2 pound of spinach???? I know it sounds crazy but it's true...
The antioxidants contained in both spinach and broccoli are equivalent to one nugget or one ounce of the Healthy Chocolate Drink - Activ....
This was a major revelation in our household, because as I mentioned, my kids won't eat spinach and there are at least 2 that don't care for broccoli.... now I can give them a Xocai nugget without worrying....
Yes, the nugget is healthy!!!! I know it is hard to believe, but it is not a candy but a food. Aside from the delicious taste and the look and smell of rich dark belgian chocolate, it truly is not a candy!!! The ORAC value contained in each 12 gram nugget is 3,120. Broccoli florets contain an ORAC value of 890 for 3.5 ounces!!!
So, yes it is a food.....it will be some time when we can actually believe that this particular chocolate can be healthy, but why wait!!!
Research has shown that unprocessed cocoa powder contains an ORAC value of 26,000, along with the wonderful acai berry which as an ORAC value of 18,500 and blueberries with an ORAC value of 2,400 all which are found in this great little nugget....

MXI - Marketing Xocolate Internationally
So, who and what is MXI??? Here I will give you some insight about this wonderful company:
MXI Corp was established by the Founders of Pure De-lite Products, Inc. Pure De-lite was recognized as one of the leading distributors of low-carb, sugar-free chocolate in the United States, achieving over $3,000,000,000 in retail sales and partnering with some of the largest retail companies in the world. Some of those companies included, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, GNC, Albertsons, Eckerds, and CVS. For six consecutive years the best selling Pure De-lite product was the Pure De-lite dark chocolate bar.
It was during this time that the Founders began their journey to better understand the power of antioxidant-rich, healthy chocolate.
MXI Corp has combined the world's greatest super foods, raw cacao and acai, to develop the ultimate antioxidant products. In fact, MXI Corp with the development of its Xocai products, is now considered the category creator of high-antioxidant, healthy chocolate.

A Little About Me...
I just wanted to share a little about me and my testimonial regarding the Healthy Chocolate - Xocai....
I, along with many was extremely skeptical about chocolate being healthy....Sure I knew that dark chocolate was more or less better for you, but I personally did not care for dark chocolate.
Like many, I enjoyed milk chocolate. Well, did you know that the reason milk chocolate tastes so good is because of the added sugars, waxes and other additives to make it enticing. I, for one, never thought that I would enjoy the Xocai healthy chocolate, but since I love chocolate, I decided to taste it....
But, let me tell you, although I enjoyed the taste....and that is amazing because like I said, I didn't like dark chocolate or so I thought. Never did I realize that Dark Belgian Chocolate was soo delicious. I still had reservations and wasn't quite convinced until I researched it further..
Some of the research I did will be included in my blog posts, so you won't have to use up your precious time. Being a doctor, I had to know the benefits and truly understand before I could wholeheartedly endorse this delicious product...
Well, after the research and of course consuming it for over 2 months, I was completely amazed!!! Not only did I enjoy the consumption of this healthy chocolate 3 times a day, I actually felt more energized. Not the energy that lasts only moments but one that lasted throughout the day....it was a euphoric energy. I slept better at night and did not toss and turn like in the past... I actually lost over 10lbs while consuming chocolate!! Now, where have you ever heard that claim??? Dark unprocessed cacao is a natural appetite suppressant and while consuming this decant food; I no longer craved the bad chocolate!!
I still maintain a healthy diet and consume this wonderful chocolate on a daily basis. I have a wonderful sense of serenity and can be assured that my body is not breaking down as it was before. With the loaded antioxidants contained in these wonderful products, I can enjoy chocolate without the guilt.
Now, my children consume this wonderful chocolate and they don't feel the need to eat the junk food they once consumed. The Healthy Chocolate actually satisfies their cravings and that makes my husband and I very, very happy.
In my next post, I will share more about the research and the products that Xocai offers.....
Until then,

The Antioxidant Craze
We've all heard it...antioxidants..... It is the buzz word of the ages....
But exactly what does it mean?? And how does it help our bodies??
No matter how healthy we are or what kind of environment we live in, our body is exposed daily to a cellular process called oxidation. In the human body, oxidation causes the damage of healthy human tissues on a cellular level. But, worse yet is that today our bodies are exposed to above average levels of free radicals due to environmental toxins.
Sources of free radicals include cigarettes, alcohol, pesticides, environmental chemicals, contaminants in the air and water, antibiotics in dietary meat and dairy products, radiation, high-fat diets, sunlight exposure and even exercise.
With time, this damage results in what is called aging and can put our health at risk.
When we refer to oxidation damage, we are typically referring to something called 'free radicals'. Free radicals, are unstable and highly reactive in the body. Experts estimate that every cell experiences ten thousand free radical attacks each hour of every day. If that sounds serious, it is!! The results are horrifying: DNA damaged by free radicals can cause cells to replicate incorrectly, therefore interfering with the proper cell function and often resulting in cell death. Over time, these mutations cause aging and may lead to cancer or other chronic diseases.
Some of the following have been directly linked to free radical damage:

Some of the following have been directly linked to free radical damage:
- Heart Disease
- Arthritis
- Cataracts
- High Cholesterol
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Lung disease
- Fibromyalgia
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Alzheimer's/dementia
- Inflammatory bowel disease
The research linking free radicals and diseases continues to grow steadily. In fact, some experts estimate that more than 80% of debilitating disease is related to the effects of free radicals.
Some of the foods that are rich in anti-oxidant levels which are measured in ORACs (oxygen radical absorption capacity).
- Cocoa, unprocessed
- Chocolate, dark
- Acai berry, fresh
- Acai freeze-dried powder
- Purple cabbage
- Kale
- Spinach
- Blueberries
- Broccoli
- Red pepper
- Carrot
- Tomato
The antioxidant capabilities of chocolate and acai have grabbed the attention of numerous research teams around the country. The antioxidant contents of both have been scrutinized, and continue to be the focus of a number of ongoing studies. Researchers have found that chocolate and acai are very high in several antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and catechins.
In my next entry I will continue to compare antioxidant levels in the many products that are out in the market today.
Yes, Chocolate Can be Healthy!!!
You are probably wondering what Healthy Chocolate is and how it can be healthy.....well I will tell you and be sure to visit often for more articles and research regarding Healthy Chocolate....
We as a society have been indoctrinated into thinking that chocolate is bad for us... oh it is very good tasting, but bad nonetheless....
Chocolate is a product that always manages to get attention because so many people enjoy it. In fact 9 out of 10 people crave chocolate, 50% can't live without it and the average American consumes 12 pounds of chocolate per year!!!!
There have been recent revelations about the health benefits of dark chocolate; it is all over the news. It turns out the cocoa bean is the highest antioxidant food on the planet, higher than any other fruit or vegetable. With all the talk about the importance of antioxidants, this is a big deal.
The challenge is it takes heat to turn the cocoa bean into chocolate. The heat manages to destroy many of the antioxidants, flavenoids and phytonutrients in the cocoa bean.
The company called MXI has found a way around the heat!! We have a healthy, rich, dark Belgian chocolate that is processed using a patented cold processing technology. We have secured the world wide exclusive rights to this unique patented chocolate.... There are no fillers, caffeine, waxes, refined sugars or bad fats. And it tastes absolutely delicious!!!!
Raw unprocessed cacao is getting alot of attention because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties. The catechins and epicatechins in chocolate have been associated with lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, strengthening the blood vessels as well as other cardiovascular breakthroughs. The other properties in cocoa have been known to help diabetes, depression, macular degeneration and so much more.
Our products top the charts in antioxidant levels. Yes, there are many products on the market advertising the amount of antioxidants they contain. But our product contains not only the unprocessed cocoa, but it also contains the infamous acai berry as well as blueberries.
I will explain the differences in my next posting, so be sure to come back and learn the differences. Our chocolate is indeed healthy and you will want to be a part of this great company as well.
