What is CRP And Why Is It Important For Delta?

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

Hi, I am Delta Xocai blogger Phil Hoskins. Today’s post explores the link between CRP levels, inflammation and heart disease. What is CRP? CRP is a measure of C-reactive protein in the blood. You can get your CRP tested when you get your cholesterol measured. A high level of CRP tells you that inflammation is present in your body.

The health dangers of inflammation are well established. If your blood vessels are inflamed, you may be at risk for heart disease. A high CRP level can occur even if no other heart disease risk factors are present. The Mayo Clinic has an article on this if you want to read more.

What does this have to do with Xocai health chocolate?

Antioxidants lower CRP levels, thereby reducing inflammation. The main ingredient in Xocai healthy chocolate is cacao. Cacao is the #1 Antioxidant Food.

The National Institute of Aging conducted a study in 2004 which found a link between antioxidant supplements and lower CRP levels. According to the researchers: “taking an antioxidant supplement was associated with CRP levels similar to those seen in those who exercised 180 minutes/week or more and did not take supplements.”

I am certainly not recommending that you stop exercising. I just wanted to point out that the NIA study showed just how effective antioxidant supplements are in reducing CRP levels even in people who do not exercise. Obviously, the best combination for heart health is antioxidant consumption coupled with regular exercise.

How do I get my antioxidants? Xocai healthy chocolate, of course! Of all the antioxidant-rich foods available in Vancouver, Xocai dark chocolate is the most delicious and satisfying.

I share Xocai with people in Richmond, Surrey, and Langley. If you come to one of my Xocai reviews you can sample Xocai products while learning about chocolate health benefits. Call me anytime at 604.943.8598 to schedule a meeting.

I look forward to hearing from you.

XsyberfleX – Elite Personal Trainers Know About It – Do You?

Posted by: Phil in Fitness, Get Fit Get Free, Health & Wellness

Ever wonder how celebrities get (and stay) in such great shape?

How the women have children and, within weeks, are back on the red carpet

…looking better than ever?

When celebrities need to get in shape for a movie role, they don’t just go to a gym and randomly start picking up weights. They hire a personal trainer; and not just any trainer.

Many of these elite few are paid up to $500/hour and more. What do they know that others don’t?

How are they able to transform their clients’ bodies into red carpet form in such a short period of time?

It’s called XsyberfleX^TMtechnology,

…and it’s now being offered to the world exclusively through a company called Get Fit Get Free.

All exercise is beneficial. Anything that gets your body moving will burn calories, improve your cardiovascular health, build lean muscle mass, and help you control your weight.

The breakthroughs in XsyberfleX^TMtechnology though, take exercise to a whole new level, allowing you to maximize your results in the shortest possible time.

To accomplish this requires careful examination of the following information:

Your age
Your sex
Your body type
Your body composition
Where you tend to carry your weight
Your schedule
Your current fitness level
Your current activity level
Your short and long-term fitness goals
And, several other factors

Elite trainers take this information and design a training regimen tailored specifically for you.

No two clients will train in exactly the same manner.

Workouts must constantly be adjusted as you gain strength and cardiovascular capacity or when you need to take time off.

This technology can only be made available through an on-line system which produces workouts one day at a time or directly from an elite personal trainer.

Key exercises in each workout relay information to the optimizer which it uses to construct future workouts.

No DVD or “canned” workout program can do it.

When you’re ready for maximum results in the shortest possible time,

XsyberfleX^TMis ready to take you to the next level of fitness.

XsyberfleX	“Canned” Workout Programs
Highly customized – no two people will get the same workouts	One size pretty much fits all
Every workout is different	Workouts are pre-recorded and don’t change
Key exercises (KFI’s - Key Fitness Indicators) within each workout determine progress and relay information to the optimizer for future use	No information is gathered or retained
Workouts are constantly adjusted as you gain strength or when you take time off	Workouts are static and don’t change based upon real life situations
Always something new and challenging	Boredom sets in as the same exercises are repeated over and over
Constant gains as muscles are never used in the same way twice	“Plateaus” are more likely as your body adjusts to repeated exercises

P90X – Week Done, Shoulder Injury Stops Workouts

Posted by: Phil in Fitness, Get Fit Get Free, P90X Diary

Well I didn’t do a great job of keeping my diary up did I. I enjoyed the workouts and continues to push through them. I enjoyed the kenpo and plyometrics DVDs and “struggled” with the push-ups.

I made it into the seventh week but suffered a shoulder injury, actually both shoulders. I think this was mainly due to my poor technique related to the push-ups and the pull-ups — who knew there were so many variations. I really did enjoy the workouts and would recomend the series. I just wish I had been a little more aware of my technique so I could have avoided the injury.

You might of guessed that these P90X Diary posts aren’t recent. These P90X blog entries had been previously entered, just not published until now. I’ve been off the P90X system for a while now.

Due to the shoulder injury I have not been able to play golf. It’s also curtailed other fitness avenues that I enjoy. My wife and I have continued to walk as much as we can.

I have, however, found something new and exciting that I am going to try. I need to do something to lose the belly fat and lose some weight.

Check back for those blog entries shortly.

Marie Osmond Loves Xocai Chocolate

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

Because Xocai healthy chocolate is quickly gaining popularity in Delta, many wanna-be healthy dark chocolate products are popping up. (This is yet another example of the fact that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.) Some of the healthy chocolate companies trying to get in on the action tout ‘high cocoa content’.

So what’s the deal with ‘high cocoa content‘? First off, high cocoa content does not necessarily guarantee a healthy Vancouver chocolate product. If that product also contains a considerable amount of saturated fats, refined sugar, wax, and preservatives, ‘high cocoa content’ can mean very little; you have to know your chocolate.

Secondly, the cocoa powder used in virtually all chocolate products sold in Richmond, Surrey and Langley has been stripped of its original nutrients. Remember, Xocai antioxidant chocolate is processed with a patented cold-press method that retains the nutrients in the manufacturing process. There is no weight-loss chocolate like Xocai because Xocai has a patent on the cold-press method.

“Numerous studies have confirmed the benefits of healthy, dark chocolate. Of course, it’s crucial that any chocolate be processed properly to maintain its nutrient and antioxidant content. The good news is that Xocai healthy chocolate products provide just that.”
-Dr. Steven Warren

Xocai recently received an enthusiastic endorsement from Marie Osmond who happens to eat Xocai chocolate daily. Would you like Marie promoting your business? I’m Phil Hoskins, entrpreneur and investor in human spirit in Delta. Contact me at 604.943.8598 or phil@philhoskins.com to start a profitable antioxidant chocolate business in Delta and the surrounding areas.

Sweet Business Opportunity For Delta And Beyond!

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Home-based Business, Xocai

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” – Abraham Lincoln.

I believe that wholeheartedly. Do you? Are you a determined Delta businessperson who does not let circumstances limit your potential? Are you ready to really make something happen for yourself?

I am Phil Hoskins. I am creating my future with Xocai (show-sigh). There is no other business opportunity in Vancouver that compares to the Xocai home business opportunity. Xocai Healthy Chocolate with acai berries is a ‘category creator’. How many health home businesses can say that? If you were going to ‘create a category’, could you come up with anything as revolutionary as healthy antioxidant chocolate? And even if you could imagine something as wonderfully radical, could you do what it takes to bring it to market?

Jeanette L. Brooks, Xocai co-founder, made it happen. It wasn’t easy. It took a lot of time, money and trial and error. But now her healthy chocolate business is exploding. You can benefit from her vision and hard work.

My favorite product is XoBiotic Squares. It is a hot seller in Richmond. My Langley and Surrey customers eat chocolate everyday. (Can you relate?) With Xocai, they are replacing the bad with the good. They now eat Xocai antioxidant chocolate in place of the waxy conventional chocolate they used to eat. One Delta Xocai lover said recently, “It is strange to eat chocolate without the ever-present guilt I used to feel. Now I don’t need to break my habit. The chocolate monkey is off my back.”

My Xocai team is called Xocai Success Team. We are having a sweet time sharing weight-loss chocolate with our Delta friends, family, neighbors and co-workers in Richmond and Surrey. (It is amazing how many new friends you make when you give out chocolate samples.) Come join us to create your own bright future!

Jeanette L. Brooks and the Xocai Story From Delta

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

For the past two decades, MXI founder Jeanette L. Brooks has been winning over skeptics who initially did not believe her bold claim that chocolate can actually be good for you. With the success of her Xocai line of healthy chocolates, she has unequivocally demonstrated that dark chocolate can indeed ENHANCE YOUR HEALTH.

If you are near Delta, BC and want to learn more about healthy chocolate, contact me by completing my Contact Me Form. I work in the Vancouver area, but will be happy to speak with you over the phone if you are farther away.

Jeanette’s motivation to sell healthy dark chocolate was very personal. After being diagnosed with diabetes in 1991, she began a quest to research and develop delicious and satisfying chocolate food products that can be incorporated into a sensible diet and active lifestyle. Jeanette was already a successful entrepreneur, having founded Yurika Foods Corporation and Phoenix International Corporation. After the life-changing diabetes diagnosis, she founded Pure De-lite, which manufactured low-carb sugar-free chocolate products. Under Jeanette’s leadership, Pure De-lite sales eventually topped 300 million.

MXI is Jeanette’s current venture. In creating Pure De-Lite’s and MXI’s offerings, Jeanette led research teams that developed the processes and formulations that make dark chocolate health-promoting. You see, it is not the cacao that is bad, it is the high-fat milk products, refined sugar and wax that is added to the cacao to create the ubiquitous milk chocolate that is found in chocolate candy products.

MXI food scientists paired acai berry, one of nature’s most antioxidant-dense fruits, with dark chocolate. But it is not just the acai berry that makes Xocai chocolate unequaled; the cold-press manufacturing process used at MXI is also revolutionary. In fact, MXI has patented it. The primary value of the cold-press method is that it does not remove the antioxidants from the cacao as is the case with traditional processing methods.

Jeanette takes special satisfaction in knowing that Xocai chocolate is not only an occasional treat, but a guilt-free staple for fellow diabetics. Thousands of Xocai believers have shared their success stories. Following is an endorsement from a Xocai fan:

“I am looking forward to a lifetime of great health with deliciously healthy chocolate in spite of the fact that I am a diabetic! My husband also enjoys healthy chocolate with Acai at least three times a day. He has replaced glucosamine and other antioxidant products he was using for aching legs and knees and has discovered incredible results of his own. We are indeed headed for a happy retirement while sharing this product with others so that they may experience great health of their own.”

Jeanette markets Xocai products through the Direct Selling model. Thousands of independent MXI distributors like me are thriving in this uncertain economy thanks to the vision and dedication of a truly remarkable businesswoman.

Why Do I Sell Healthy Chocolate In Delta?

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

Sharing Xocai healthy chocolate is fun and rewarding. Of course, I love the money, but I also enjoy introducing people to a delicious chocolate product that is actually good for your health.

Many Richmond healthy chocolate lovers are diabetics. Before they began eating Xocai healthy dark chocolate, some of them had not enjoyed chocolate for years! That is very hard for me to imagine. As far as I am concerned, chocolate ranks right up there with the air I breathe.

My Delta Xocai team members love being their own boss as they grow their Langley antioxidant chocolate business. Sharing Xocai does not feel like ‘work’ to any of us. We succeed together as we support each other.

Would you like to put your energy and creativity into building a profitable Vancouver business based on the world’s absolute favorite food? Unlike many MLMs, the Xocai distributor retention rate is surprisingly high. When Delta people join Xocai, they quickly experience success and stay with the company. It is not difficult to persuade people to try Xocai – even the few who aren’t crazy about chocolate are curious about ‘healthy chocolate’.

The Xocai compensation plan is extremely generous. A Surrey Xocai weight-loss chocolate distributor needs to sponsor just two people to qualify for commissions as long as the distributor continues to purchase enough product for their own use.

I would love to discuss my Xocai experience with you. For an informational no-pressure discussion, contact me at 604.943.8598 or phil@philhoskins.com.

P90X – Week Two (and a bit of Week Three)

Posted by: Phil in Fitness, P90X Diary

This got started well. I wasn’t the madman I was for the first week. I planned on making sure I still had something in the end to be able to push myself. It’s really nice to be able to have a different work out every day.

The muscles are still sore but I am working through it. It’s nice how one day is a “muscle” work out and the next is an aerobic one. I was able to do more.

This week was a little tough as I need to take a break on day 3. I finished the Plyometrics work out and the next day everything was fine. Somewhere between walking to work (may have slipped on some ice) and about mid-day … my hip started to hurt.

I rested 3 days before feeling 100% to work out again …

Are You Passionate About Chocolate?

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

Vancouver chocolate sales increase dramatically around Valentine’s Day. The Richmond Wal-Mart and Surrey Costco often run out of Lindt and Dove special-edition Valentine’s boxes. Forgetful chocolate gift-givers dash into Delta convenience stores on their way home from work, hoping to find something fancier than a Kit-Kat bar. International chocolate sales hit $345 million in February 2009. Why is this heavenly confection associated with the most romantic of all holidays?

Perhaps it is because chocolate triggers the release of endorphins. Physical intimacy also causes the release of these ‘love chemicals’ that create pleasurable feelings.

Chocolate and romance have been linked for thousands of years. The Aztecs used cacao-based beverages in rituals involving the worship of Xochiquetzal. In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal is the female deity linked to fertility and sexuality. In more than one culture, cacao beans were used to woo women.

Why wait for Valentine’s Day? Why don’t you treat your Delta sweetheart to some decadent Xocai chocolate this week? Xocai has a complete line of delicious chocolate gifts.

If you and your lover enjoy sharing mugs of hot cocoa by a crackling fire, try Xocai Sipping Xocolate. Hot cocoa connoisseurs will appreciate the rich smoothness of Xocai’s premium hot chocolate beverage.

Your cookie lover will be in cookie heaven when you give him/her a box Xocai Powerhouse Cookies.

Xocai Nuggets are a good pick for chocolate candy eaters. If your love interest needs an energy boost, try Activ, Xe Energy or Xocai Protein Bars. (Who knows how that energy will be used?)

To order Xocai healthy chocolate in Vancouver (or anywhere else), call me at 604.943.8598. Chocolate passion may be just what your lover is craving. Don’t you want to find out?
