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.
