"Last year, my 49 year young husband, Dennis, suffered two heart attacks. After having stents put in, then triple by-pass surgery, his cardiologist taught us a healthier way of eating which included 2 glasses of red wine and one piece of dark chocolate every day.
He said to go easy on the chocolate because of the fat & sugar content. When I was introduced to the healthy chocolate, Xocai, and learned it was low fat & had a low-glycemic content, I was intrigued. I gave my husband only one piece a day, as per his doctor's instructions, but I ate 3 nuggets a day for a month. I had my blood work done the month before, then the month after.
My total cholesterol went down from 5.67 (221) to 4.26 (166). My LDL went from 2.96 (115) to 1.95 (76). And my blood pressure went from 130/110 to 122/68. The improvements were so great that my own doctor asked me what I had done differently.
Since my results were so good, my husband started eating 3 nuggets a day. He has been on blood pressure medication for a year now and it has stayed stable at 130/90. Now it is 110/70. We are so excited to be helping our heart health by eating healthy, delicious, dark chocolate! "
