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?)

Chocolate Wealth in Delta

Posted by: Phil in Healthy Chococolate, Xocai

Xocai healthy chocolate distributors in Vancouver and around the world have discovered that chocolate is recession resistant, though some are more surprised than others.

The ‘instant believers’ in Delta BC that recognized the potential of Xocai dark chocolate when they first heard about it expected their current level of success. Their initial positive vibes were quickly confirmed.

Others joined with some hesitation. Some had been laid off and needed an income while they looked for work. Hundreds of those who started their Xocai home business ‘on the side’ have built their antioxidant chocolate businesses to the point where it has become their primary means of support. It is interesting to hear stories of people who say that losing their nine-to-five job was the best thing that ever happened to them. To know that your income potential is unlimited is a heady feeling for many former wage earners.

Founders Jeanette L. Brooks and Andrew N. Brooks are gratified to know that thousands of families have been helped financially through the Xocai business opportunity.

And the best part? Being a part of the healthy chocolate revolution! Can you think of a better way to bring happiness to chocolate lovers who want to improve their health?

What are the XoBiotic Squares™?

Posted by: Phil in Health & Wellness

There are many natural functional foods in virtually every food group. As we all know, chocolate itself is a functional food if it contains sufficient antioxidants and flavonoids. However, it is now possible for manufacturers to create functional foods by fortifying and enhancing their products to give them added health benefits never before possible. A new growing segment of functional food is called “probiotics.”

Probiotic means “fit for life”, or “pro life.” Probiotics are living microorganisms which when administered effectively in adequate amounts confer health benefits. The adult intestinal tract is home to approximately 100 trillion microorganisms. More than 400 different bacterial species have already been identified in the intestinal tract.

First, in order to be effective probiotics must contain bacteria which are resistant to stomach acids and bile salts. Secondly, the bacteria must have the capacity to compete successfully with the indigenous intestinal bacteria. So, either the bacteria must be protected by the use of encapsulation techniques, or new types of foods must be developed which offer increased protection for the bacteria. The key to the effectiveness of probiotic treatment is for the bacteria to be able to pass through the stomach and the small intestines reaching the large intestines with sufficient strength to colonize and flourish.

SHIME stands for “The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem.” This in vitro system was created to simulate the activities and conditions found in the stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. This enables scientists to monitor the quantity of bacteria that survive the journey to the large intestines. And, it also enables them to monitor the development of the bacterial colonies in the large intestines.

According to the American College of Gastroenterology, 95 million Americans suffer from digestive problems. Some 60 million have heartburn, 50 million have irritable bowel syndrome, and 20 million suffer from stomach ulcers.

Many, many new probiotic products have been launched in North America and Europe. But, we have a distinct advantage. Chocolate appears to be the ideal delivery system for probiotics. Dark chocolate has been shown to be far superior to milk as a delivery system for Probiotics.

The Xoçai™ XoBiotic™ chocolate is an 11-gram square and delivers 1 billion microorganisms of two types— Lactobacillus Helveticus R0052 and Bifido Bacterium Longum R0175. These probiotics have been selected for our probiotic chocolate because of their stability in chocolate and their guaranteed shelf life equal to the shelf life of the chocolate itself, if properly stored as recommended for all Xoçai™ products (40^oF – 75^oF). Tthe health benefits of dark chocolate with those of these two probiotic cultures have a positive influence on immune and gut health for health-conscious consumers.

Presently there are no approved health claims on probiotics in the US, until now!
