The benefits of dark chocolate and Açaí berry

The benefits of dark chocolate and Açaí berrie-Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants - Antioxidants help free your body of free radicals, which cause oxidative damage to cells. Free radicals are implicated in the aging process and may be a cause of cancer, so eating antioxidant rich foods like dark chocolate and Acai berrie can protect you from many types of cancer and slow the signs of aging.- also referred to as the “Tree of Life”, by the Yanomami Indian.

Dr Phillip Minton,Md wrote the book Healthychocolatebook

They’ve treasured the Açaí for centuries as a food that “holds unique power” – believing it gives energizing sustenance. And why not? The studies done on the berry show it does have rather remarkable antioxidant properties. Its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value, which is a scientific measurement of its antioxidant capacity, is impressive.

Researchers have determined that the Açaí contains about 300 percent more antioxidants than blueberries or grapes: in fact, it is thought to have the highest antioxidant capacity of any known edible fruit. Antioxidants, such as those found in the Açaí, are certainly important for youthful health, energy, and stamina, and they help your immune system to operate more efficiently. Essentially, a diet high in antioxidants super-charges your body to fight off the effects of pollution, chemicals, and the ever-increasing onslaught of germs, bacteria, and viruses that constantly surrounds you. The Açaí berry has been named as the number one superfood, chosen because of its beneficial combination of essential fatty acids and fiber in addition to its powerful antioxidants.

Stone Ground Cacao: Energizing and one of the most pharmacologically complex foods containing over 1200 different molecules. Most notably cacao contains: PEA, or the ‘love’ molecule, which is heat sensitive and destroyed in most chocolate products; Anandamide, the ‘bliss’ molecule, which is a cannabinoid endorphin that makes you feel good; Tryptophan, a heat volatile amino acid that is known to enhance mood; Serotonin, which helps you form a ‘stress shield’ that would keep you calm if the world were falling apart around you. Cacao is one of the most concentrated sources of anti–oxidants (6x more than blueberries) and is a great source of many key minerals such as magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc and copper.

Antioxidants

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are molecules which prevent the damaging effects of oxygen free radicals in the body. The damage caused by oxygen free radicals is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation are bananas turning brown when left on the counter top,or the rusting of iron. Less than 10% of Americans are consuming the necessary fruits and vegetables recommended by the USDA to obtain the necessary antioxidants that their bodies need to fight off the damaging effects of free radicals.

Xoçai™, the ultimate antioxidant products!

Marketing Xocolate International, MXI Corp, has combined the world’s two greatest super foods, raw cacao and açaí, to develop the ultimate antioxidant products. In fact, MXI Corp with the development of its Xoçai™ products, is now considered the category creator of high-antixodiant, healthy chocolate.

How are antioxidants measured?

See this simple appele test

The antioxidants in any food are measured by its capacity to absorb free radicals. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values as determined by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture measure the capacity of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals. The USDA website recommends a Daily Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC. However, recent studies have suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants. The chart above contains the ORAC values of several highantioxidant foods. Research now indicates that if we obtain on a daily basis at least 5,000 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) our bodies in most cases will be able to fight off the damaging effects of free radicals.

Chocolate Anti Oxidants Drink

Chocolate Anti-Oxident Drink
by Peter Langelaar on June 11, 2010

I’m excited to tell you about Xocai Activ drink. Of course the ingredients in Xocai Activ drink are nutritional powerhouses: unprocessed cacao, acaí berries, blueberries and concord grapes. (I would expect no less from Xocai, the original antioxidant chocolate company.) However, what Activ does not contain is equally important.
Xocai Activ has NO:
• Added colors
• Artificial flavors
• Preservatives
Xocai has formulated Activ for the purist who wants an all-natural energy drink with the highest antioxidant content of any drink sold.
Even though Activ contains no preservatives, you don’t have to worry about it spoiling. It is sold in powdered form which keeps for a year without losing its nutritional value. To make a delicious chocolate health drink, add ten ounces of warm water to the Activ powder and shake well. Then add eleven ounces of cold water and refrigerate overnight.
Some of our Activ drinkers like their shake a little thicker so they add slightly less water.
Activ lovers who are always on the go appreciate the fact that Activ dark chocolate drink comes in powdered form. It is lighter than bottles or cans of liquid and takes less space in a backpack or suitcase.
Activ is the ultimate antioxidant beverage for the active lifestyle!

The Whole Story – Xocai ORAC Score top of the charts!

Brunswick Labs, a global leader in antioxidant R&D and testing, introduced its patent-pending Total ORAC for Food and Nutrition (Total ORAC FN) test. Total ORAC FN represents a breakthrough in comprehensive antioxidant testing for food and nutrition products.

Brunswick Labs has helped leading international companies add value to their brands for years by providing antioxidant services that tell a convincing story to consumers. Now, Total ORAC FN delivers valuable, quantitative analysis to evaluate broad-spectrum antioxidant potential of oil- and water-soluble ingredients, including cosmeceuticals and finished products.

Total ORAC FN measures antioxidant activity against five of the most important free radicals found in humans. These are hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen and superoxide anion. In a patent-pending analytical laboratory method, Total ORAC FN combines all fivev measurements into a single, easy to use test result.

There are five major radicals causing oxidative damage in the human body. In combination, they cause DNA, protein and lipid damage; and contribute to systemic inflammation and other harmful pathways. “Defending against just one of these is like patching just one of five holes in a boat,” says Brunswick Labs President, Jim Nichols. (more on Brunswick here)

MXI Corp is proud to announce the beginning of the 3rd generation Xocai™ products! The first product that has been reformulated is the X Power Squares™. Packaging is presently being produced and they anticipate that the first cases will be shipped around the middle of March 2010.

Recently a gentleman whose company promotes ORAC testing told MXI Corp that the Xocai™ products are the “Cadillac” in the ORAC world. He stated that more people call him with questions about the Xocai™ products than any other products in the marketplace. This is a great compliment not only to their products, but also to their Distributors who are telling the Xocai™ story internationally!

Xocai chocolate on top of the Orac score! Off the chart!

We’re sure most of you are familiar with the late Paul Harvey, the great news commentator. Paul was famous for telling a news story and then following up with “the rest of the story.” Well, MXI Corp has been sharing the news about the high ORAC values of the Xocai™ products for about four and a half years, and now, we are ready to tell the world “the rest of the story!”

When they found out about this new testing, we immediately took action. They had no idea what the results of the “Total ORACFN” testing would be, but they had total confidence that the Xocai™ X Power Squares™ would definitely make a good showing. Here they show the chart that shows the unbelievable results for the Xocai™ X Power Squares™.

Over the next 6 months they will be reformulating, retesting, and repackaging all of the Xocai™ products. As the results of the “Total ORACFN” testing are available for each successive product, they will incorporate them into “the rest of the story.” Be sure to stay tuned as “the rest of the story” unfolds.

My Xocai The Healthy Chocolate

Dark Chocolate for Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Wednesday May 19, 2010


Food of the Week: Dark Chocolate

Are you sick of healthy foods that don't taste good? Then try a little dark chocolate!

Dark chocolate has numerous health benefits, and some of them could specifically benefit those of us with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

It contains serotonin, which tends to be deficient in us;
It stimulates endorphin release in your brain, which elevates the mood, kills pain and may boost the immune system;
It may lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol, which protects the heart (some research links chronic fatigue syndrome to cardiovascular irregularities);
It contains antioxidants (in the form of flavinoids), which some experts recommend for these conditions.
This doesn't mean that we should all binge on chocolate regularly -- we do still have to worry about the fat and calories! However, research shows that we only need about 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate a day to get the benefits. The best way to add dark chocolate to your diet is to eat it in place of a less-healthy snack.

It also has to be dark chocolate, and the darker the better. Milk chocolate won't have the same impact on your body.

About.com Guide to Longevity Mark Stibich, Ph.D, has a great article on dark chocolate and how to get the most out of it: Health Benefits of Chocolate.

I don't eat dark chocolate on a regular basis, but I do generally keep some around for those days when I feel like I need a serotonin boost, or when I want something sweet. I figure it's better than a lot of other choices I could make. I do notice a difference when I eat it, too. I'm lucky -- I dark chocolate to milk chocolate, so it's an easy choice for me.

Do you eat dark chocolate for the health benefits? How do you compensate for the extra calories? Have you had to adjust to the taste? Leave your comments below!
