Hello! My name is David Rydelnik, and I am a Nutritional Consultant in the local Albany healthy chocolate revolution.As the world leader in healthy chocolate, and the local Albany authority on chocolate for health, the vision of our healthy chocolate company is to transform and improve lives worldwide through healthy chocolate products. Xocai healthy chocolate provides an exciting health alternative for everyone in Albany as well as a promising business opportunity for the greater Schenectady area.
The most exciting part for me is that our company has a focus on engaging in socially and environmentally responsible practices to make and distribute our healthy chocolate products from Schenectady to the world.
Xocai healthy chocolate combines the wonderful flavors of unprocessed cacao, acai berries, blueberries and concord grapes, leaving my friends in Albany with a lasting and delicious, 'dark-chocolate' taste. Mmmm! Our healthy chocolate contains a high antioxidant content with a remarkable ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) Value.
Our healthy chocolate is perfect for the 'all-natural' consumer. Xocai products are formulated with no added colors, no artificial flavors, and no preservatives! Ideal for the Schenectady purist who wants nothing but the raw, high-antioxidant ingredients or for our local Albany energy enthusiasts who want nothing holding them back from an exciting New York life!

What is CRP And Why Is It Important For Albany?
Hi, I am Albany Xocai blogger David Rydelnik. Today's post explores the link between CRP levels, inflammation and heart disease. What is CRP? CRP is a measure of C-reactive protein in the blood. You can get your CRP tested when you get your cholesterol measured. A high level of CRP tells you that inflammation is present in your body.The health dangers of inflammation are well established. If your blood vessels are inflamed, you may be at risk for heart disease. A high CRP level can occur even if no other heart disease risk factors are present. The Mayo Clinic has an article on this if you want to read more.
What does this have to do with Xocai health chocolate?
Antioxidants lower CRP levels, thereby reducing inflammation. The main ingredient in Xocai healthy chocolate is cacao. Cacao is the #1 Antioxidant Food.
The National Institute of Aging conducted a study in 2004 which found a link between antioxidant supplements and lower CRP levels. According to the researchers: "taking an antioxidant supplement was associated with CRP levels similar to those seen in those who exercised 180 minutes/week or more and did not take supplements."
I am certainly not recommending that you stop exercising. I just wanted to point out that the NIA study showed just how effective antioxidant supplements are in reducing CRP levels even in people who do not exercise. Obviously, the best combination for heart health is antioxidant consumption coupled with regular exercise.
How do I get my antioxidants? Xocai healthy chocolate, of course! Of all the antioxidant-rich foods available in Schenectady, Xocai dark chocolate is the most delicious and satisfying.
I share Xocai with people in Clifton Park, Westchester, and Poughkeepsie. If you come to one of my Xocai reviews you can sample Xocai products while learning about chocolate health benefits. Call me anytime at 518.631.5150 to schedule a meeting.
I look forward to hearing from you.
