of the Aztec word, Xocolatl, an Ancient American cacao drink,
and the last three letters of Açaí, the exotic
and healthy Amazonian berry. Xoçai, the Healthy Chocolate!
Cacao is the highest source of antioxidants in the world. Xoçai
products are produced with cacao that is unfermented, sun-dried, non-roasted,
nonalkalized, non-lecithinized, and cold-pressed. Because these processes
are closely monitored, Xoçai delivers the optimum amount
of the antioxidants naturally found in the cacao. Xoçai products
are the perfect delivery system for the antioxidants your body needs while
eliminating almost all of the fat and sugar typically found in other chocolate
products.
The
Power of Chocolate
Cacao, or Chocolate, originated with the Olmec Indians in 1500 BC. Mayans
and Aztecs used cacao in a royal chocolate drink called Xocolatl. Xocolatl
progressed to a favored beverage of the European elite. The divine drink
builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink (cacao)
permits a man to walk for a whole day
without food. Montezuma ll.
From antiquity to the present, chocolate has been one of the most beloved
products, and for more than 90% of its history chocolate has been consumed
as a beverage. Although many health benefits have been attributed to chocolate
during its 3,500-year history, the full extent of its contributions to human
health is only now being brought to light through modern technology and research.
Indulge your health
Cacao beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds making it one
of the most complex food substances on Earth.
The shocking good news is that unprocessed, raw cacao is packed with potent
antioxidants called flavonoids. Research has demonstrated that flavonoids
play an important role in protecting the cacao plant. Further research has
concluded that these same natural protective compounds in cacao beans, when
consumed by humans, improves health by protecting cells from the damaging
effects of free radicals.
Açaí
The super antioxidant berry from the Amazon Rain Forest During the Founders journey they also recognized the importance
of the Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) Berry found deep in the Amazon jungle.
The Açaí Berry has been described as natures most Complete
Food not only because it is bursting with antioxidants, but also because
it is loaded with Omega-6 & Omega-9 fatty acids, 8 of the 9 essential
amino acids, calcium, iron and it has a protein composition similar to eggs.
The Açaí Berry is the 2nd highest source of antioxidants in
the world. It has over 14 times more antioxidants than raw spinach, and 10
to 30 times more anthocyanins than red wine.
The emerging world of antioxidants
What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are molecules which prevent the damaging
effects of oxygen free radicals in the body. The damage caused by oxygen free
radicals is called oxidation. Examples of
oxidation are bananas turning brown when left on the counter top, or the rusting
of iron.
Less than 10% of Americans are consuming the necessary fruits and vegetables
recommended by the USDA to obtain the necessary antioxidants that their bodies
need to fight off the damaging effects of free radicals.
How
are antioxidants measured?
The antioxidants in any food are measured by its capacity to absorb free radicals.
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values as determined by the U.S.
Dept. of Agriculture measure the capacity
of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals. The USDA website recommends a Daily
Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC. However, recent studies have
suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants.
The chart above contains the ORAC values of several highantioxidant
foods
.
Research now indicates that if we obtain on a daily basis at least 5,000 ORAC
(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) our bodies in most cases will be able
to fight off the damaging effects of
free radicals.
