So you want to learn about Healthy Chocolate!!!! As a Physical Therapist, people ask me all the time what can I do to lose weight, get healthy and what can I do to decrease my pain? Each person is different in their problems, but they all have a common goal of "getting healthier." We all know exercise and diet are the key components of any healthy program, so let's look at diet. A healthy diet is a balanced consumption of food while monitoring your caloric intake in food choices that provide your body with essential vitamins and nutrients. However, many of us eat alternative diets (aka "unhealthy") and expect to feel good, as well as look good, and well..., maintain our current body shape. You can do it if you eat right and exercise. Let me tell you about the healthiest food product I have come across, used and promoted. Chocolate, that's right, rich, dark Belgian chocolate! But not just any chocolate! The Facts The food with the highest antioxidant value on the planet is the cocoa bean. It is one of the most complex food substances on earth containing over 300 chemically identifiable compounds. These beans are packed with potent antioxidants called flavonoids. These compounds boost good HDL cholesterol levels while reducing bad cholesterol and lowering blood pressure. Our chocolates are produced with unprocessed, non-alkalized, non-lecithinized cacao powder, combined with the Acai berry and blueberries. The combination of these ingredients, in their natural state, provide a product that is packed full of the most powerful antioxidants! The Misconception Just because a dark chocolate bar states 70% cocoa on the label does not mean it is rich in flavonoids. Other chocolates are heat processed which destroys the flavonoids. Chocolate products on store shelves use processed cocoa powder and sugars, along with bad fats, fillers, waxes, preservatives, and they contain a high amount of calories! The Breakthrough A manufacturer in Belgium patented a cold pressed technology that protects the flavonoids and other phytonutrients, producing the most nutritionally potent raw unprocessed cocoa powder available. This technology is not found in the United States. The Opportunity MXI Corp has the worldwide, exclusive rights to this technology and I have partnered with them to provide this product to you. The Company MXI Corporation launched their chocolate product, Xocai(sho-shi), in June 2005. MXI buys its cocoa beans from family farms on the Ivory Coast where the rugged terrain creates a bean rich in flavonoids and phytonutrients. During processing, almost all of the fat and sugar typically found in the other chocolate products is eliminated. Besides the natural antioxidants, a full spectrum of additional antioxidants including blueberries, concord grapes and nature’s “complete food”, the Acai berry is added. The product is the most potent antioxidant delivery system available. The Product 1.A rich dark Belgian chocolate nugget equal in antioxidant value to 1/2 lb. of spinach. 2.A powerful antioxidant dark chocolate beverage with a full spectrum of potent berries. One ounce of this beverage equals 1 lb. of broccoli in antioxidant value. 3.The first ever omega-3 dark chocolate bar. 4.A meal replacement protein bar containing 10 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. 5.The newest product is a Body by Xocolate weight-loss program. I hope this gives you some insight as to what "Healthy Chocolate" is and you trust me in providing you with information about one of the the most nutritious products I have found that really tastes good.
