Finally a Chocolate That’s Great on the Lips, the Hips and the Heart!


Of all of the rich and decadent foods consumers have to choose from, chocolate is by far one of the most popular. The sweet and creamy treat has been eaten by billions of people all over the world for centuries. And while it’s often perceived as indulgent and fattening, chocolate actually has a number of health benefits. Xocai, one of the health food industry’s fastest growing brands is now helping consumers enjoy the amazing taste of chocolate, without the guilt and negative impacts. By combining all natural unprocessed chocolate with the acai berry and other fruits, the Xocai line of products is changing the way consumers perceive chocolate, and making it possible for health-conscious individuals to indulge while still watching maintaining good health.
Chocolate is made from seeds from the cacao tree, which is native to South America. Throughout much of the world’s history, it has been treasured as a luxury good, and was previously used in a resistance building, fatigue fighting drink called Xocolatl by the Mayans and the Aztecs, and later by the European elite. Chocolate is still noted for its health boosting benefits today, and many modern scientists will attest to that fact. According to a research presented at a conference held by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, chocolate can help to prevent or remedy a number of common ailments, including high blood pressure. Chocolate is also rich in antioxidants, which help to prevent or slow the oxidative damage to the body, and prevent related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and macular degeneration.
We live in a fast-paced world and many of us have difficulty making sure that we’re getting all of the nutrients and vitamins that will help us maintain our health. The Xocai products are a great way to supplement your diet with a natural solution that has proven health benefits. From the new revolutionary product Sipping Xocolate to the Omega Squares, customers are excited that something that taste so great, can also be so great for them.
Chocolate is one of the most popular flavors around the world, but chocolate candies, drinks and other products made with chocolate can be high in fat and calories. If consumed in excess, many of these products can lead to weight gain and other health issues. However, compared to most mainstream products made with chocolate, Xocai has the same decadent taste, but with far fewer grams of fat and sugar. Made with acai, the super antioxidant berry that’s sweeping the diet industry, Xocai is safe for health-conscious consumers, dieters and even diabetics. These low calorie products are also a great source of protein and fiber.
It’s no secret that lifestyle changes can be difficult to stick to. Our products make it easier for people to still truly enjoy the foods and beverages that they are consuming while still remaining committed to their overall health.
