As our population ages, we are facing more chronic illnesses
than ever before. Aging itself is not a disease, but we are
seeing more aging-related diseases than ever before. Coronary
artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, strokes,
certain cancers, respiratory problems, arthritis, depression,
dementia, and dental problems are growing at rapid rates. It has
been reported that more than three-fourths of all deaths in
patients over 65 years of age are due to heart problems,
diabetes, and certain cancers. It has been estimated that over
80% of elderly people have one chronic illness and more than
50% have at least two. All of these chronic illnesses are
impacted by our nutritional habits. Our nutrition impacts the
quality of our lives and can impact the quantity of years.
What food we put into our bodies markedly determines how we
feel and function. The increase in fat intake, decrease intake of
fruits and vegetables, lack of exercise, exposure to smoking,
and environmental hazards are contributing to chronic illnesses
and aging. We can change or at least slow down wrinkling,
mental confusion, dental decay, elevated blood pressures,
cholesterol levels, arthritis, and perhaps aging with the right
foods. Foods and supplements that absorb free radicals do
more than taste good they could save your life, and some of
them are great tasting too.
Take Chocolate, yes chocolate but it must be the right kind if
you want it to do more than taste good. Pure Cocoa is ranked
as one of the highest dietary sources of antioxidants. So what is
an antioxidant? It is a super hero, and it's arch villain is the free
radical crime family.
Free radicals are like electro-chemical purse snatching thugs!
They are molecules that lack an electron and go around
stealing them from the healthy cells of your body. The experts in
this crime wave estimate that each cell in your body experiences
ten thousand free radical attacks each hour of every day.
These wounded healthy cells then give rise to mutations that
advance aging, cause heart disease, cancer and many chronic
maladies, including dental disease. They are in need of help
and that is where our super hero Antioxidants come to the
rescue. Antioxidants ride to the rescue with an abundance of
electrons and neutralize the free radical thugs with there own
electrons before they can steal from your healthy cells. Thus
the damage is averted and disease prevented.
Antioxidants our hero! In this section of our web site you will find
an ever growing list of proven antioxidant hero's and when we
can we will provide a way for you to contact them.

| Xocai Chocolates Good Chocolate vs. Bad Chocolate |
Fight tooth decay... have you had your chocolate today?
No really!
Over the past several years, many studies have examined the benefits of dark chocolate
on oral health. Cocoa is believed to contain a type of inhibitory property, as emerging
research has identifeid polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins as the key substances that
benefit teeth and gums. A 2006 Japanese study found cocoa to have an antibacterial
effect on many of the mouths bacteria. The researchers found that the polyphenols in
chocolate restricted the bacteria in the mouth helping to prevent tooth decay, gum
disease and bad breath.
Over the centuries, chocolate has come full circle. Most of the modern world currently
views chocolate as a tasty but quite unhealthy indulgence meant for only occasional
consumption. But health-conscious consumers are now learning that dark chocolate,
devoid of some of the unhealthful ingredients usually paired with it in confectionary
products, possesses some impressive health properties.
Scientists are rediscovering what ancient Meso-Americans knew centuries ago: chocolate
can be very good for you. It may have been cultivated for over two thousand years, but
in the last five years science has finally begun to discover the actual health benefits of
cocoa. Research is just beginning and is especially promising in the area of
phytonutrients, polyphenols, and flavonoids.
However, not all chocolate is created equal. Most candy bars and chocolate foods
commonly found in grocery stores are not what you’re looking for. These are typically
high in refined (white) sugar, milk fats, and hydrogenated oils—ingredients that replace
the truly healthful nutrients found in cocoa.
It’s important to remember that what makes chocolate healthy is the chocolate itself—
that is, the pure cocoa that comes from the bean of the cacao plant. Studies confirm that
the chocolate products with the highest levels of polyphenols and procyanidins should
contain at least 70 percent pure cocoa powder. What this means is that, while it’s not
necessarily bad to have “milk” chocolate, which contains a higher percentage of cream
or milk, the more pure cocoa the chocolate contains, the more beneficial it will be. Bitter
is better.
Also, many chocolate confections are processed using a procedure known as “Dutching,”
which neutralizes the chocolate’s acidic flavor and modifies its color by adding alkali-
potash to the cocoa nibs before roasting. However, this alkalinization process also
removes most of the chocolate’s natural polyphenols. Another process commonly used
by confectioners that can damage cocoa’s healthy nutrients is roasting: when chocolate is
prepared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, its antioxidant compounds are destroyed.
So when looking for a healthy chocolate product, look for a dark
chocolate product with the following properties:
Here Is Xocai's Answer to Healthy Chocolate :
Xoçai™ Nuggets, the Ultimate Antioxidant Treat!
Xoçai™ Nuggets, are an extremely high cocoa content chocolate combining
the exotic flavors of dark chocolate with Açai and Blueberries. Each 12-gram
Xoçai™ Nugget is made with rich, dark, Belgian Chocolate. There are 100
Nuggets per case. They are suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. The Xoçai™
Nuggets are considered a “Clean Product”: No Artificial Colors, No Artificial
Flavors, No Preservatives, and No Sucralose.
There have been numerous studies, including Cardiovascular Studies, on the
health benefits of Dark Chocolate.
Each 12-gram piece of Xoçai™ Nuggets has an ORAC Value or Antioxidant
Content of 3,120, and the USDA recommends at least 3,000 to 5,000 per day.
Furthermore, the Xoçai™ Nuggets are the only Chocolate Bar, dark or milk,
in the marketplace that has printed on the packaging the ORAC Value or
Antioxidant Content of the product. We’re truly excited that we have the
Ultimate Antioxidant Treat with a balanced nutritional profile.
Xoçai™ Activ, the Ultimate Active-Lifestyle Antioxidant Beverage!
MXI Corp recognizes the importance of providing multiple products focusing
on the benefits of unprocessed cacao and açai berries. As we are all aware,
there is not a single product that can please everyone.
Xoçai Activ™ combines the wonderful flavors of unprocessed cacao, açai berries,
blueberries and concord grapes, leaving you with a lasting, “dark-chocolate”
taste. The antioxidant content or the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance

clearly focusing on the “All-Natural” consumer. Activ™ has been formulated

is ideal for the “PURIST”, who wants nothing but the raw, high-antioxidant
ingredients or for the “ENERGETIC”, who wants nothing holding them back
in life!
Xoçai Activ™ should be stored in a cool, dry place and can be stored for up to
one year before “activating”. To activate, just add warm purified (bottled,
not boiled) water. The product is much lighter, so it will be easier to take wherever you
go. It is ideal for the “active lifestyle”!

Everyone knows they should take vitamins...
But who wants to choke down a handful of tablets every day?
Introducing Vemma®, the cure for 'pill fatigue syndrome'.
Vemma blends the most recent science and nature's finest to form a complete and delicious
once-a-day liquid supplement that provides you with everything you need and more to
kick your health and energy levels into overdrive.
Developed by a physician with a background in both Eastern and Western medicine,
Vemma unites the antioxidant-rich power of mangosteen — a fruit used for centuries by
Asian health practitioners for its nutritional benefits — with rich plant-source minerals,
organic glyconutrient-rich aloe vera and decaffeinated organic green tea along with a full
spectrum of antioxidant vitamins to create the most powerful liquid antioxidant nutrition
program anywhere!
Why supplement with Vemma's Essential Minerals?
Vemma's Essential Minerals® provides what the modern, convenience
-driven diet may be lacking: over 65 major, trace and ultra-trace
minerals in an ionic form. The minerals are extracted from nutrient-
dense plant vegetation that has been undisturbed for thousands of years. Then they are
broken down into a bioavailable (body-ready) ionic state. This means the minerals are
reduced to the smallest component that minerals can exist in and still retain their physical
properties and are suspended into a completely dissolved liquid form. The result is a 100%
ionic liquid mineral product that is easy for the body to use. This is important because as
we age, the ability of the body to handle minerals declines, so body-ready minerals can be
very helpful.
And, on a different note, because of the natural kiwi and strawberry flavors in Vemma's
Essential Minerals, this beneficial liquid provides a delicious taste treat!
