The Power of Xoçai™ — Health Benefits of Therapeutic Dark Chocolate

Ancient civilizations used chocolate as a medicine to treat all kinds of ailments. Now, scientific evidence is proving they were on to something. In the past few years, much research has been done on the health benefits of dark chocolate, from its life-giving power to its therapeutic effects. The media has been buzzing with the results from the chocolate studies as more and more people discover chocolate not only tastes good, but is good for you as well. And now, there is an even healthier variety of dark chocolate! Xoçai™ dark chocolates combine the antioxidant fighting power of Açaí berries with the rich, smooth taste of raw chocolate made from cacao to create the healthiest and smartest chocolate known to man! With all the health benefits that Xoçai™ dark chocolates offer, you have the power to change your life for the better!

Chocolate: the Good, the Bad, and the Delicious

All chocolate may taste good, but not all chocolate is good for you. In fact, most of the sweet-tasting chocolates you see in stores carry very little nutritional value. This is because store-bought chocolate is stripped of most of its antioxidants and other essential phytonutrients and replaced with chemical additives, wax, fat, fillers, sugar, and other unhealthy ingredients. Milk chocolate has very few nutrients, while white chocolate contains almost no nutrients.

Despite this, there is such a thing as healthy chocolate. The best type of chocolate is unprocessed dark chocolate, which yields an array of health benefits for consumers and is made of at least 70 percent pure cacao solids. Because organic, unprocessed dark chocolate contains up to 80 percent cacao, it is the purest and most therapeutic chocolate a person can find. The more pure the chocolate is, the more antioxidants and other nutrients it contains that help prevent cell damage and other premature aging conditions.

Xoçai™ dark chocolate is not only a tasty treat, but it is also power-packed with a variety of antioxidants and the sweet-tasting goodness of Açaí berries. Because of this, Xoçai™ dark chocolate has many health benefits compared to other brand-name chocolates. Containing a high percentage of cacao solids, Xoçai™ dark chocolate can help promote cardiovascular health, relieve menopause and PMS symptoms, decrease blood pressure, elevate mood, promote weight loss, improve skin, and more. Indulging on a healthy treat has never been so delicious!

Pure, Xoçai™ Dark Chocolate — It's What's Inside that Counts

Pure Xoçai™ dark chocolate made from organic cacao and Açaí berries contains more life- and energy-giving antioxidants and other nutrients than most fruits and vegetables you can find in the grocery store. Below is a list of nutrients found in Xoçai™ healthy dark chocolate and the health benefits they offer the body:

Calcium.
Although calcium plays a vital role in the development of strong bones and teeth and is important in preventing osteoporosis, research suggests it may also help to regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk for developing some types of cancer and heart disease.
Copper.
Copper helps the body to create energy, as well as helps the body synthesize collagen for beautiful, young-looking skin. Studies also suggest that copper also helps to prevent anemia.
Iron.
Iron plays a vital role in many of the body's processes. Iron helps blood and muscle tissue to store oxygen so that the body's energy can be properly synthesized.
Magnesium.
Magnesium plays a significant role in the formation of bone, cells, and protein in the body, and also helps to relax muscles, clot blood, transmit nerve impulses, and much more. Scientific research links magnesium to a reduced risk of developing ADHD, glaucoma, and high blood pressure. Magnesium also has therapeutic effects. The magnesium found in chocolate helps to alleviate PMS and menopause symptoms.
Manganese.
Manganese is an important mineral that promotes healthy skin and bones. Research also suggests that manganese plays an important role in promoting glucose tolerance.
Vitamin B1.
Also known as Thiamine, the body uses Vitamin B1 to change protein, fat, and carbohydrates into energy. Research indicates that Vitamin B1 also plays a role in preventing diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, and may even reverse anemia.
Vitamin B2.
Commonly referred to as Riboflavin, Vitamin B2 helps the body convert food into energy. Vitamin B2 may also prevent migraines, cataracts, and anemia, according to scientific research.
Vitamin B3.
In addition to helping the body process carbohydrates, Vitamin B3, or Niacin, helps to regulate cholesterol. Recent studies also suggest that Vitamin B3 helps treat conditions such as acne and osteoarthritis.
Vitamin B5.
Also known as Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B5 helps to convert food into energy and regulate cholesterol in the body. Research also suggests that Vitamin B5 may aid in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin B6.
Also called Pyridoxine, Vitamin B6 has a therapeutic effect in chocolate. Vitamin B6 helps prevent depression and other mental conditions by promoting the production of mood-altering hormones like dopamine and serotonin. Studies show that Vitamin B6 is effective at decreasing the level of homocysteine in the body, which has been associated with stroke and heart disease. Studies also indicate that Vitamin B6 is what gives chocolate its PMS- and menopause-associated mood swing fighting capability.
Vitamin C.
Vitamin C, or Ascorbic Acid, is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that cause premature aging of the body. Because of this, Vitamin C is necessary in the fight against lung disease and heart disease.
Vitamin E.
An important antioxidant, Vitamin E has been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing the oxidation of bad LDL cholesterol. Vitamin E also helps control inflammation and may be of some benefit to those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Zinc.
Zinc is an important mineral that helps repair wounds, promote good vision, boost the effectiveness of the immune system, fight free radicals, and much more. Research indicates that zinc plays a vital role in reducing cold symptoms and may even help women maintain their fertility.

These nutrients, as well as others found in Xoçai™ dark chocolate, are important in helping individuals maintain optimal health. It is easy to see that a regular intake of pure, organic Xoçai™ dark chocolate is extremely good for your health.

The Amazing Health Benefits of Xoçai™ Therapeutic Dark Chocolate

Xoçai™ dark chocolate is an exciting new variety of chocolate that is way different than any other chocolate on the market. Bursting with the taste of Açaí berries, blueberries, and other exotic flavors, Xoçai™ is overflowing with potent antioxidants and other nutrients to promote physical, mental, and emotional well being. Scientific evidence suggests that Xoçai™ dark chocolate has many health benefits. Some of the health benefits of therapeutic dark chocolate are:

Promotes cardiovascular health*.
With Xoçai™, you can eat dark chocolate to your heart's delight! A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that pure, organic dark chocolate can inhibit the formation of blood clots, which ultimately decreases the risk of heart attacks and stroke. (Rein, D., et al.)
Regulates good and bad cholesterol*.
Keep bad cholesterol at bay with Xoçai™ chocolate. Two different studies on the effects of cacao on cholesterol published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine in 2004 and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates pure, organic dark chocolate increases the amount of good cholesterol (HDL) in the body and decreases the amount of bad cholesterol (LDL) that is oxidized. This decreases the risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. (Mursu, J., et al., Schroeter, H., et al.)
Decreases blood pressure*.
In a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2006, researchers found that cacao lowers systolic blood pressure by twelve points for those with hypertension. Pure, organic dark chocolate made with a high concentration of cacao helps to dilate blood vessels, making them stronger and more flexible. This in turn makes arteries more relaxed and reduces stress on the heart. (Buijsse, B., et al.)
Aids in weight loss*.
Eat Xoçai™ dark chocolate and lose weight! Sound too good to be true? Think again. Recent research from Japan suggests that dark chocolate actually helps to suppress the appetite and prevent fat metabolism and storage. Chocolate has also been found to stimulate the central nervous system, which increases energy in the body. All of these benefits contribute to weight loss.
Prevents certain types of cancer*.
A study from 2005 published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics indicates that chocolate strengthens the immune system and protects against oxidative damage that causes cell and DNA mutation associated with different types of cancer. (Ramijak, D., et al.)
Promotes emotional well being*.
Xoçai™ dark chocolate is an all-natural good-mood food. According to David Wolfe, author of Naked Chocolate, organic dark chocolate made from pure cacao can be emotionally therapeutic. Dark chocolate contains neurotransmitters that help to ease depression and increases a sense of well being. The contents of chocolate have also been found to calm nerves, increase energy and stamina, and elevate mood. (David Wolfe, Shazzie, 2005)
Chocolate decreases menopause and PMS symptoms*.
There is a good reason why women crave chocolate during their period. According to David Wolfe, low magnesium levels in the body during menstruation are what contribute to increased premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. However, dark chocolate helps to supplement deficient levels of magnesium in the body during the menses cycle, reducing the effects of PMS for therapeutic results. In addition, chocolate has a hormone-balancing effect which contributes to a decrease in PMS and menopause symptoms. (David Wolfe, Shazzie, 2005)
Treats tooth decay and prevents gum disease*.
Xoçai™ dark chocolate not only satisfies your sweet tooth, but it treats your teeth as well! According to a study published in the Journal of Dental Research in 2001, pure, organic dark chocolate reduces the amount of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth as well as prevents the development of dental plaque. Because of this, the risk for cavities and gum disease is decreased.  (Osawa, K., et al.)
Promotes regularity*.
Xoçai™ chocolate is nature's Pepto-Bismol™. A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2005 indicates that pure dark chocolate reduces the amount of fluid secreted from the intestines that causes diarrhea. Chocolate also helps to regulate the amount of fluid that is transported in the intestines, as well as aids in the production of acid in the stomach. (Schuier, M., et al)
Improves skin condition*.
Beautiful skin is only a Xoçai™ chocolate bar away! Research published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2006 suggests that dark chocolate helps to hydrate skin, as well as protect skin from sun damage. Chocolate also improves complexion and blood circulation in the skin for naturally glowing and radiant skin. (Heinrich, U., et al)
Prevents and manages diabetes*.
Pure, organic Xoçai dark chocolate is a low-glycemic treat that may prevent diabetes and even decrease the complications of the disease. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that among all the health benefits of dark chocolate, the delightful confection may also promote glucose metabolism and reduce insulin resistance to help prevent or control diabetes. Dark chocolate is also said to reduce the amount of damage to the body caused by diabetes, including heart disease, eye disease, kidney disease, and many others. (Cesar Fraga)

These are only a few of the benefits that healthy, therapeutic, organic dark chocolate has to offer. It is no wonder why people around the world are falling in love with Xoçai™ chocolate, the world's smartest chocolate!
