If you're going to explain the concept behind healthy eating to your children, it's important to eat healthy yourself. Don't forget your children mirror everything you do and having a proper balanced meal will help incorporate healthier eating habits. We have a few tips, tricks, and methods you can take advantage of regard this and get your kids on the right track.
Packing for a Trip
It doesn't matter if you're going on vacation or just having a little day long excursion, packing the right snacks helps promote healthy eating. You'll want to give your kids the opportunity to choose, but make sure they're deciding between healthy foods. Deciding between apples and oranges is a whole lot better than candy bars and potato chips. We could go on with other examples, but you get the idea.
Around the House
A great way to explain the importance of eating healthy is by growing a garden. It doesn't have to big or anything, but letting your child grow their own is priceless. While growing you can talk about the benefits of eating the fruit or vegetables. Then when they are ripe and ready to be eaten, the family can provide accolades. It will not only help with healthier eating, but they will also feel a sense of accomplishment providing for the family.
Reading Labels
Once you've gone over some of the important facts of whatever it is they chose to grow, it's time to add them to your next grocery trip. Teach your children how to read the labels and understand what the abbreviations mean. When they are familiar with the benefits to look for on a package, offer them the opportunity to choose specific foods for dinner that week. It will only enhance their knowledge of proper nutrients to give their body.
Having More Fun
When it comes down to it, the easiest way to promote healthy eating is by explaining the benefits. Things like being able to go outside and play or staying healthy keeps you from extra trips to doctor each year. Obviously, you don't have to overdo it and make it a point to discuss different things at every meal, but when it's appropriate definitely put it out there.
You'll know it's effective when your children are beginning to ask questions, offer suggestions, and even doing most of the grocery shopping for you. It may sound like paradise to you, but to them it's a learning experience and will definitely promote healthier eating and a healthier child for you.

*** Be an Example for Your Kids Eating Habits ***
One of the best parts of having children is watching them mirror everything you do. It's definitely one of the joys associated with being parent. It doesn't matter if you're walking, doing your hair, the way you sit when you watch television, at one time or another they will notice. This being said, you have to be an example for them when it comes to eating habits as well.
In a fast paced world it's real easy to forget and instead hit the fast food restaurants loading up with all kinds of trans fat. Now, you aren't going to be able to do this 100% of the time, but it would be nice if you could right? So below we threw together a few tips, tricks, and methods that will help you along the way. Even if you've never thought about how important this is until now.
The Routine
Almost everyone loves a good routine, but having one before you eat dinner is very important in your child's future. Even something as little as washing your hands before handling or eating food can go a long way. Then of course sitting down with your family everyday at a certain time is crucial to their outlook of a daily plan as they get older. It's a good way to start a routine, you just have to make sure you stick with it.
Once that is set into place then it's time to move onto the food. To give your children a real sense of self-worth, take them shopping with you to the grocery. Taking a ride or walk through the produce section can teach them a lot about a person's overall health. Don't be afraid to let them help with dinner. You would be surprised how exhilarating that time spent together can be for all of you.
When the food is ready and everyone sits down to eat, remember, your children will be watching. So cut and chew your food as you would teach them to do. If you are chewing slow, so will they. Cutting in a specific direction? They will as well, but most likely after they've tried every other way their minds can think of doing. However, the chewing part is extremely important for their digestive system.
The Discussion
We all eat outside of our three meals a day and at some point you need to have a little talk about it with your kids. Everyone tells you to substitute carrot sticks and 100% juice for chips and soda right? Well, we're going to do the same. You should also discuss the moderation levels of sweets of any kind and make sure this one is repeated upon as the years go by.
Doing all this will not only give your children the head start they need in daily life, but will also keep the family life more like a family. It's so important to eat together, and if by chance they notice you don't eat "everything all gone," don't be afraid to tell them why. Listen, when it's all said and done they don't have to like everything, but giving them a variety of food to choose from will help both of you in the long run.

5 minute Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake
5 minute Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake
* 4 tablespoons flour
* 4 tablespoons sugar
* 2 tablespoons crushed Xocai power squares
* 2 tablespoons crushed Xocai power squares
* 1 egg
* 3 tablespoons milk
* 3 tablespoons oil
* 3 tablespoons oil
* 3 tablespoons shaved Xocai Nuggets
* a small splash of vanilla extract
* 1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the vanilla extract and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug but don't be alarmed. Sprinkle the shaved Xocai Nuggets on the top and let them melt - yum!! Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate if desired. But we like to eat it right out of the mug - keeping the chocolate warm and lushes!!
EAT! (this can serve 2 - but why when it is healthy) And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away form chocolate cake at anytime of the day or night!
But because this recipe uses Healthy Chocolate you can eat it and not feel guilty. Also you will be getting all the healthy Antioxidants from this wonderful Healthy Chocolate.

NEED HELP! - WITH CHOCOLATE BUSINESS IN UK!
Hi
I'm rather desperate at the moment.
Looking for contacts in the UK who might be interested in a unique business opportunity.
I have a number of people in Italy who are interested in signing on with a chocolate business.
If I sign them up in Canada the shipping and VAT prices are astronomical.
However, we have a warehouse in the UK from which shipping and taxes are more reasonable.
Anyone interested in helping out as part of the UK connection would be compensated for their efforts and might additionally also be interested in taking part in the healthy chocolate business.
So if you live in the UK or know of anyone living in the UK who is interested please have them contact me right away.
Thanks so much.

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.
