Healthy chocolate? Xocai is just that!


    With the numerous studies about the benefits of Healthy Chocolate that repeatedly state the many positive healthy response so many have eating pure, cold processed cacao...

  • Superior antioxidant protection
  • Increased cardiovascular support
  • Anti-aging effects
  • Support of the brain mental function
  • Healthy inflammatory response
  • Significant energy boost
  • Improved immune function
  • Enhanced blood-sugar control
  • Increased ability to maintain a healthy weight
  • Controlled appetite and cravings
  • Improved mood and emotional health 


  •  Quick. Think of the best antioxidants you’ve ever heard of. Red wine? Green tea? Pomegranate? Blueberries? Dark chocolate leaves them all in the dust. The USDA published a chart of antioxidant foods measured in ORACs (Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity Units). For every 100 grams, dark chocolate has 13,120 ORACs, and blueberries have only 2,400.
       Antioxidant-rich diets have been linked to a lowered risk of heart attacks, stroke, cardiovascular disease, cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, arthritis, asthma, Alzheimer’s and more. So it stands to reason that if chocolate is chock full of antioxidants, it’s actually good for you.

    Here is a Ted talk by David Wolfe about the many health benefits of Raw food cacao...healthy chocolate.

     
    Raw chocolate is the #1 food in magnesium of any food in the world, which is the #1 deficiency in the western world. Highest natural source of iron, manganese and chromium-very important minerals for blood building, stable blood sugar and de-stresses us. Phosphorus, Zinc and copper. Phosphorus for bone. Eat good chocolate. Not all chocolate is equal.

    Also, Xocai is a fair trade, sustainably conscientious company. We plant over 100,000 cacao trees a year on the farms in Africa. Vegan, raw cane crystals for sweetener, NON-GMO...it's the real deal.    ORAC scored and proven-we label every package to show the consumer the benefits.

     My story:  I've been regularly eating this chocolate for about 8 weeks now, and honestly, I have some really noticeable differences. It took about 5 days to notice anything, really, but then I noticed my energy level was increasing and my blood sugar levels were leveling out, no more highs and lows (which have continued to improve still) My coffee consumption decreased in half-blood sugar trigger- and my sweet cravings decreased. My son, who has had blood sugar spikes like myself, has all but lost his, too-no more headaches! That is amazing!!! There is more...I have more creative energy, more clear thinking and sleep better. I'll take all of that and more! I've also notoce that I've lost inches around my waist and upper body, and I'm ok with that too!
    Don't just take my word for it, Try it
