Answers |

How can I get
hold of some?
Xocai chocolate is not available in the shops but
exclusively through a network of independent
distributors. Most of our business comes via personal
recommendation from people who eat the chocolate
themselves.
Why are Antioxidants
important to us?
Oxidisation affects our bodies in the same way in
which an old car can rust away. In our body it has the
effect of creating unbalanced cells or Free Radicals and
it is this process which is a major cause of aging and
degenerative diseases. Antioxidants in our body ‘latch
on’ to these Free Radicals and cancel them out. Our body
does produce its own Antioxidants but not enough to cope
with our modern lives. The nutrition that we get from
our diets is a fraction of those of 50 years ago and the
pollution that our body is exposed to, the reverse. We
have to supplement the shortfall to make our bodies
function as they should.
What happens if we don’t get
enough Antioxidants in our diet?
More and more, medical research seems to agree on
the importance of maintaining a certain level of
Antioxidants in our body. Scientists have linked aging
and over 200 degenerative diseases to inflammation and
oxidation. Dr. Richard Cutler, whilst Director of the
Anti-Aging Research Department in Washington, USA went
as far to say, “The amount of antioxidants that you
maintain in your body is directly proportional to how
long and healthy you will live”.
Can’t I just get all the
Antioxidants that I need by eating fruit and vegetables?
Yes of course you can but you may have to eat a
bit more than you imagine. Nutritionists recommend an
intake of 10,000 units of Antioxidants a day, which you
will get from eating as little as three pieces of Xocai
chocolate. You would have to eat either 1.4 kg of black
grapes, 1.1 kg of spinach, 1.1 kg of broccoli or 1 kg of
brussel sprouts, to get the equivalent levels from fruit
and veg.
Which would you rather eat?
Of course you should still eat your 5-a-Day of
fruit and vegetables, because they have some other
nutrients and vitamins that healthy chocolate doesn’t,
but at least you know that your antioxidants are
covered.
Will I actually notice any
difference from eating Healthy Chocolate?
Yes you most definitely should do and the benefits
will vary from person to person. This is because
increasing your body’s antioxidants levels serves to
strengthen and support all of the body functions. Some
health benefits reported and supported by medical
research into raw cacao and quality dark chocolate
include; healthier cardiovascular function, lower blood
pressure, lower cholesterol levels, reduced insulin
dependency, improved respiratory function, better joint
flexibility, better dental health, suppressing of
cravings and supporting weight loss.
Who is Healthy Chocolate
really for?
It is for everybody who loves chocolate but feels guilty
about eating the regular, unhealthy chocolate brands.
-For everybody who is trying hard to diet and get
fitter, but is being held back by their irresistible
chocolate cravings. -For everybody who
understands that we need to somehow supplement the
nutrients and antioxidants that our body needs - those
that we no longer get from our daily diets.
-For everybody who is aware of the increasing scientific
research about how eating quality dark chocolate can
improve your health in a number of ways. -For
everyone that wants their chocolate to be Kosher
certified, has high cholesterol, is diabetic or is a
vegan or a vegetarian. -For, everyone that
loves chocolate! |
