Eat A Serving Of Chocolate A Day To Keep The Doctor Away
Chocolate is a food that is loved and indulged in by many. Who honestly does not love chocolate? Is it possible that there could be a healthy version of this beloved food?
There is in fact a company that markets healthy chocolate products. The company is called Xocai and is a division of the MXI Corp. based in Reno, NV. The product line was created by Jeanette Brooks, one of the founders of Xocai. Jeanette happens to be diabetic, and so was naturally interested in creating healthy diabetic friendly products.
The Xocai product line consists of X Powerhouse Cookies, X Power Squares, Nuggets, Omega Bars, Xocai Activ, and Protein Bars. The products are made from unprocessed cacao powder and combined with acai berries and blueberries for added flavor.
So how can eating something that tastes good actually be good for you, and help to keep the doctor away? The Xocai product line is made with a cold press process. Normal chocolate that you would buy in the stores is made with a heat processing method. However, when you heat the natural cacao powder, it loses 80% of its healthy antioxidants. The cold pressed method allows the chocolate to retain its nutritional value and therefore be good for you.
Not only does the Xocai line carry powerful antioxidants, but it also boasts flavonoids, a high ORAC value, low calories and fat, low glycemic index, and is diabetic, vegetarian, and vegan friendly. By consuming 1-3 servings of this healthy, tasty chocolate each and every day, you will be giving your body the most powerful antioxidants known to man. You will be fighting the free radicals in your body and may see noticeable health benefits related to your consumption.
In closing, it is possible to consume something on daily basis that is actually good for you, that you would normally be eating anyway. So indulge in your guilty pleasure and possibly even help your health.
