Obesity is the world's #1 health problem: Two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or
obese, and childhood obesity rates are triple what they were only a generation ago. The grim reality is
that today's generation of children will be the first to have a shorter life expectancy that their parents.
How did we get here? A big component of the obesity problem is the free radical problem. Free
radicals are "rogue" molecules that rob electrons from other molecules, which in turn become "free
radicals" and pinball around our body, creating a continuous cycle of damage and destruction to our
bodies' cells, tissue and organs. Researchers from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University
found a direct correlation between oxidative stress (free radical damage) and increased obesity.
Antioxidants to the Rescue: Luckily, Mother Nature created an instant fix to the free radical problem:
antioxidants. Antioxidants disable free radicals by donating electrons to replace those lost during
oxidation. Antioxidants are found in a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs, spices and other
foods such as dark chocolate. Did you know that unprocessed cocoa is one of the most powerful
antioxidants on the planet? A diet rich in antioxidants can be one of the best ways you can lose
unwanted pounds, feel a surge of youthful energy, having glowing skin and sharper mental focus.
Look for foods with certified levels of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) and don't forget to
include delicious dark chocolate.
One of the very best, healthiest dark chocolates on the planet is Xocai Healthy Chocolate.
