Yes, It Grows On Trees (Just Not Around West Lafayette)!

15 Jul

West Lafayette MLM Secrets Think about the last time you got to enjoy chocolate while out and around West Lafayette. Perhaps it was a chocolate milkshake at a Purdue University restaurant. Maybe it was a Snickers bar you picked up at a Tippecanoe County 7-11 whose wrapper is still stuffed in a cup holder in your car. It could have been a chocolate chip cookie still warm from the oven.

Whatever it was, did you pause to think about where the chocolate came from? Though it seems to come straight from heaven, chocolate is actually produced from cacao, a plant-based food. Just like peaches, almonds, and bananas, cacao is a natural substance that comes from a tree. Technically, cacao is a fruit.

The theobroma cacao is an equatorial tree whose fruit is shaped somewhat like a football. These color of the pods range from a purplish-brown to a golden shade and can grow to over a foot long. The tree is extremely productive, it shoots out pods year-round and can produce nearly two thousand per year. My favorite thing about the cacao is that its pods not only hang from its branches, they even sprout directly from the trunk! -biological efficiency at its best!

Lafayette Xocai healthy chocolate products are made from nature’s most potent source of antioxidants. Cacao seeds have more antioxidants than blueberries, grapes and green tea. The more I learn about Xocai healthy chocolate, the more I enjoy sharing Xocai with health-conscience Lafayette folks who want to enjoy chocolate without guilt.

Would you like to sample Xocai antioxidant chocolate? I would be happy to meet with you soon. Give me a call at 765-418-7293. I am Ron Siovaila, your West Lafayette source for weight-loss chocolate

Are You Passionate About Chocolate?

25 Jun

Health Chocolate in West Lafayette Lafayette chocolate sales increase dramatically around Valentine’s Day. The Purdue University Wal-Mart and Lafayette Costco often run out of Lindt and Dove special-edition Valentine’s boxes. Forgetful chocolate gift-givers dash into West Lafayette convenience stores on their way home from work, hoping to find something fancier than a Kit-Kat bar. International chocolate sales hit $345 million in February 2009. Why is this heavenly confection associated with the most romantic of all holidays?

Perhaps it is because chocolate triggers the release of endorphins. Physical intimacy also causes the release of these ‘love chemicals’ that create pleasurable feelings.

Chocolate and romance have been linked for thousands of years. The Aztecs used cacao-based beverages in rituals involving the worship of Xochiquetzal. In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal is the female deity linked to fertility and sexuality. In more than one culture, cacao beans were used to woo women.

Why wait for Valentine’s Day? Why don’t you treat your West Lafayette sweetheart to some decadent Xocai chocolate this week? Xocai has a complete line of delicious chocolate gifts.

If you and your lover enjoy sharing mugs of hot cocoa by a crackling fire, try Xocai Sipping Xocolate. Hot cocoa connoisseurs will appreciate the rich smoothness of Xocai’s premium hot chocolate beverage.

Your cookie lover will be in cookie heaven when you give him/her a box Xocai Powerhouse Cookies.

Xocai Nuggets are a good pick for chocolate candy eaters. If your love interest needs an energy boost, try Activ, Xe Energy or Xocai Protein Bars. (Who knows how that energy will be used?)

To order Xocai healthy chocolate in Lafayette, call me at 765-418-7293. Chocolate passion may be just what your lover is craving. Don’t you want to find out?

Xocai for Heart Health In West Lafayette

06 Apr

Xocai MLM Secrets From West LafayetteThe Kuna Indians of Panama live both on the mainland and on a chain of islands in the Caribbean. The Kuna who live on the islands have retained their traditional culture which includes a diet rich in unprocessed cacao.

Most island-dwelling Kuna drink several cups of cocoaa day. Unlike people in developed nations, as the Kunas age, they don’t experience a rise in blood pressure. The westernized Kuna who live in Panama City do not consume cocoa daily and do not enjoy a lower rate of hypertension. (see Medical News Today)

Harvard Medical School professor of radiology Norman Hollenberg believes the island Kunas’ heart health is due to the antioxidants contained in the unprocessed cacao.

Xocai X Power Squaresare made with cacao that is blanched, unfermented, sun-dried, non-roasted and cold-pressed, which means it boasts eight times the levels of epicatechins and catechins, and four times the levels of procyandins than cacao produced with standard processing.

Many people in the Lafayette area eat chocolate daily. Unfortunately, the processing methods used to make Snickers, Kit Kat, Hershey and the like strip the cocoa of its original nutrients. These popular brands of Lafayette chocolate also contain high levels of saturated fat, your heart’s worst enemy.

If you are a West Lafayette chocolate addictwho is worried about hypertension, you should try delicious Xocai Power Squares. Xocai Power Squares provide a guilt-free chocolate fix.

You can order Xocai Power Squares by calling me (Ron Siovaila) at 765-418-7293. I share Xocai weight loss chocolate around Purdue University, the Lafayette area and throughout Tippecanoe County. There is a growing demand for antioxidant chocolate in the Lafayette area. If you would like to tap into the healthy chocolate goldmine, contact me today.

 
 

Jeanette L. Brooks and the Xocai Story From West Lafayette

02 Apr

Jeanette L. Brooks and the Xocai Story For the past two decades, MXI founder Jeanette L. Brooks has been winning over skeptics who initially did not believe her bold claim that chocolate can actually be good for you. With the success of her Xocai line of healthy chocolates, she has unequivocally demonstrated that dark chocolate can indeed ENHANCE YOUR HEALTH.

If you are near West Lafayette, Indiana and want to learn more about healthy chocolate, contact me by completing my Contact Me Form. I work in the Lafayette area, but will be happy to speak with you over the phone if you are farther away.

Jeanette’s motivation to sell healthy dark chocolate was very personal. After being diagnosed with diabetes in 1991, she began a quest to research and develop delicious and satisfying chocolate food products that can be incorporated into a sensible diet and active lifestyle. Jeanette was already a successful entrepreneur, having founded Yurika Foods Corporation and Phoenix International Corporation. After the life-changing diabetes diagnosis, she founded Pure De-lite, which manufactured low-carb sugar-free chocolate products. Under Jeanette’s leadership, Pure De-lite sales eventually topped 300 million.

MXI is Jeanette’s current venture. In creating Pure De-Lite’s and MXI’s offerings, Jeanette led research teams that developed the processes and formulations that make dark chocolate health-promoting. You see, it is not the cacao that is bad, it is the high-fat milk products, refined sugar and wax that is added to the cacao to create the ubiquitous milk chocolate that is found in chocolate candy products.

MXI food scientists paired acai berry, one of nature’s most antioxidant-dense fruits, with dark chocolate. But it is not just the acai berry that makes Xocai chocolate unequaled; the cold-press manufacturing process used at MXI is also revolutionary. In fact, MXI has patented it. The primary value of the cold-press method is that it does not remove the antioxidants from the cacao as is the case with traditional processing methods.

Jeanette takes special satisfaction in knowing that Xocai chocolate is not only an occasional treat, but a guilt-free staple for fellow diabetics. Thousands of Xocai believers have shared their success stories. Following is an endorsement from a Xocai fan:

“I am looking forward to a lifetime of great health with deliciously healthy chocolate in spite of the fact that I am a diabetic! My husband also enjoys healthy chocolate with Acai at least three times a day. He has replaced glucosamine and other antioxidant products he was using for aching legs and knees and has discovered incredible results of his own. We are indeed headed for a happy retirement while sharing this product with others so that they may experience great health of their own.”

Jeanette markets Xocai products through the Direct Selling model. Thousands of independent MXI distributors like me are thriving in this uncertain economy thanks to the vision and dedication of a truly remarkable businesswoman.

Marie Osmond Loves Xocai Chocolate

28 Mar

West Lafayette Weight Loss Chocolate Because Xocai healthy chocolate is quickly gaining popularity in West Lafayette, many wanna-be healthy dark chocolate products are popping up. (This is yet another example of the fact that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.) Some of the healthy chocolate companies trying to get in on the action tout ‘high cocoa content’.

So what’s the deal with ‘high cocoa content‘? First off, high cocoa content does not necessarily guarantee a healthy Lafayette chocolate product. If that product also contains a considerable amount of saturated fats, refined sugar, wax, and preservatives, ‘high cocoa content’ can mean very little; you have to know your chocolate.

Secondly, the cocoa powder used in virtually all chocolate products sold around Purdue University, Lafayette or Tippecanoe County has been stripped of its original nutrients. Remember, Xocai antioxidant chocolate is processed with a patented cold-press method that retains the nutrients in the manufacturing process. There is no weight-loss chocolate like Xocai because Xocai has a patent on the cold-press method.

“Numerous studies have confirmed the benefits of healthy, dark chocolate. Of course, it’s crucial that any chocolate be processed properly to maintain its nutrient and antioxidant content. The good news is that Xocai healthy chocolate products provide just that.”
-Dr. Steven Warren

Xocai recently received an enthusiastic endorsement from Marie Osmond who happens to eat Xocai chocolate daily. Would you like Marie promoting your business? I’m Ron Siovaila, independent business owner in West Lafayette. Contact me at 765-418-7293 or ron@paidforbychocolate.com to start a profitable antioxidant chocolate business in West Lafayette and the surrounding areas.

How Can It Have No Caffeine?

02 Mar

Xocai makes the seemingly remarkable claim that Healthy Chocolate does not contain caffeine, but many well meaning people will argue that chocolate naturally contains caffeine and deny this possibility.  In a society that has always told us that chocolate naturally contains caffeine and where the chocolate industry repeats this claim, it’s no wonder we’ve been lead to believe it must be true.

There are two issues to consider where chocolate is concerned.  First, theobromine is a readily found stimulant in both the cocoa bean and chocolate.  If you were to compare the chemical structures of theobromine and caffeine, it is obvious they are related. However, these two chemicals are very different and cause very different reactions in our bodies.  Theobromine is much more mild, slower acting and longer lasting as a stimulant when compared to caffeine.  The point: nobody is denying there is a stimulant in your chocolate.  What we are saying is that the energy you feel is from theobromine (and maybe sugar) and not necessarily from caffeine, which could be easily confused with theobromine as a chemical. 

Second, what part of the fruit is used to make your chocolate?  It actually makes a difference.  The cocoa bean itself doesn’t contain any caffeine.  However, cocoa beans are seeds found inside a pod (the fruit of the cocoa plant).  The seeds are inside a protective membrane, similar to how apple seeds are encased inside the core of an apple.  In the cocoa pod, this membrane contains caffeine.  When making cocoa powder, manufacturers must choose whether they are going to grind only the seeds (cocoa beans) or if they are also going to grind up the protective membrane.  Obviously, grinding up the membrane produces more powder per pod decreasing their cost to make chocolate; however, the cocoa powder is also of a lower quality and contains caffeine from the membrane.

Now, let’s look at Healthy Chocolate.  Xocai is sold through direct or referral marketing.  Like most products distributed in this manner, they are of very high quality because they depend on word of mouth and good reputation to sell their products.  A lower quality cocoa powder would not contain the same concentrations of antioxidants Xocai prides itself on, nor would it produce as high in quality product as their distributors and customers have come to expect.  Thus, Xocai does not grind the membrane into its cocoa powder, leaving Healthy Chocolate caffeine-free.

Hope that answers your question!
