What is CRP And Why Is It Important For Delta?

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chocolate, 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.

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
