Happy Mother’s Day…
Today is Mother’s Day in the United States!
Mother’s Day is a day honoring mothers,
celebrated on various days in many places around the world.
The US celebrates Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May.
It’s a day to be thankful for the woman that gave us life
and one of the Finest Days of Appreciation on the Planet!
A day when we show our appreciation by taking mom
out to dinner and giving her flowers and chocolate candies.
The holiday was declared officially by some states beginning in 1912.
In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother’s Day,
as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor
of those mothers whose sons had died in war.
Nine years after the first official Mother’s Day, commercialization
of the U.S. holiday became rampant. Mother’s Day is now the
most popular day of the year to dine out at a restaurant in the US.
A new twist has now been added to this day of appreciation,
and it’s a good one. Instead of giving mom chocolate candy,
give her a Healthy Chocolate Superfood.
We want mom to be around as long as possible
and to remain healthy as long as possible, don’t we?
Healthy Chocolate is an anti-aging Superfood…
How is this possible?
Chocolate is bursting with antioxidants.
An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing
the oxidation of other molecules.
The chemical reaction of oxidation can produce free radicals,
which start a chain reaction of cell damage. An example being
when a banana or apple slice starts turning brown.
This cell damage proliferates aging and starts chain reactions
that lead up to many diseases, such as cancer.
Antioxidants actually stop these negative chain reactions.
Many fresh fruits and vegetables have a high quantity of antioxidants.
But pure raw chocolate is chocked full of flavonoids,
which are some of the most powerful antioxidants on earth.
There is a trick to the chocolate though, you have to eat it raw.
Now you are wondering, what is raw chocolate?
Well, it helps to start from the beginning.
Most people think that chocolate just comes from the
Hershey or Godiva or Dove chocolate factory.
But there is in fact a “chocolate tree.”
The tree was named Theobroma cacao.
In Latin that means ‘food of the gods.‘
Well, this ‘food of the gods” is actually cacao beans.
They grow on a tree. Some people call them nuts,
but they are actually seeds.
Once you remove the skin you have the cacao
(pronounced kah KOW) or chocolate.
Before it’s roasted, processed, and load it with refined sugar
- That is what’s known as… raw chocolate.
Heating the cacao beans kills most of the antioxidants
and other minerals and vitamins in the chocolate.
In order to preserve the nutrients the beans must be dried
at a low temperature, typically below 120 degrees.
Then the beans can be enjoyed whole as nibs…
(the bean with the skin removed), in bits, or as a powder.
Raw cacao has a bitter flavor. Some enjoy it just like that.
Others prefer to sweeten it by blending it with other natural
ingredients like fruit or honey.
A new chocolate is now on the market that is healthy.
Not only is healthy for mom but she can eat it 3 times a day guilt free.
This chocolate is gluten free, vegetarian/vegan and diabetic friendly.
It is called Xocai (pronounced Sho-sigh) and is pure, unadulterated cacao.
Xocai is a division of MXI Corp. and is based in Reno, Nevada.
They have brought to market an all-natural, pure form of cacao
that maintains its nutritional value through the manufacturing process.
Rather than heat the cacao, it is cold pressed.
This allows the dark chocolate to maintain its healthful properties.
This is a grave comparison to traditional chocolate that typically loses
about 80% of the antioxidants during the manufacturing process.
Xocai’s products deliver extraordinary levels of antioxidants
and other important phytonutrients without adding all the extra fats,
fillers, refined sugar, milk or caffeine…all which are added in your typical
chocolate candies.
Almost all commercial chocolate has been sweetened
with processed sugar and is devoid of most of the antioxidants.
Xocai turns a traditional candy into a superfood.
Raw cacao is one of the most, if not the most,
nutrient rich and complex foods known to man.
Healthy Dark Chocolate is a new food product
that is loaded with antioxidants which neutralize
free radicals-rogue oxygen molecules that can accelerate aging .
Help your Mom look younger, feel younger, and live longer…
- Give her Healthy Chocolate - it is important to her health.
