Boost your Metabolism with Choffy (rich source of Magnesium)

Choffy is a super-rich source of magnesium, which has a major role in metabolism. Did you know that 75% of the US is below the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of Magnesium?! Do yourself (and your metabolism) a favor and drink some Choffy every day!

Metabolism is the rate you burn the calories that you consume. The higher your metabolism, the better. Other factors that positively affect metabolism include exercise, eating steadily through the day, and staying hydrated. Choffy not only keeps you hydrated (also plays a major role in metabolism), but is also a rich source of magnesium.

To find out more about magnesium’s role in metabolism, let’s go to some sources for more information.

From the National Institutes of Health:

Magnesium plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. It may influence the release and activity of insulin, the hormone that helps control blood glucose (sugar) levels (Kobrin SM and Goldfarb S. Magnesium Deficiency. Semin Nephrol 1990;10:525-35). Low blood levels of magnesium (hypomagnesemia) are frequently seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

From a Registered Dietician and Dr. Oz:

Magnesium is Mother Nature’s muscle relaxant, and, by turning down our fight-or-flight response, it keeps things like our cortisol levels in check and our digestive system working great. Also, cacao contains theobromine and anandamide – theobromine is a natural stimulant and anandamide is an endorphin (think “runner’s high” or a feeling of bliss). Together, these nutrients stimulate the body internally to get your engines revving for more metabolic burn.

More Chocolate, More Thin (More Choffy!)

You knew Choffy was good for you, but get this! A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine (layman term news version here) shows a correlation between people who eat more chocolate and have a lower BMI (body mass index, height to weight measurement used for obesity). The study didn’t even set out to find this, it was discovered through looking at correlated data gathered from the study. This is great news for chocolate eaters and drinkers!

Choffy is a terrific source of all the nutrients found in chocolate, without the chemicals, over-processing, and mounds of sugar. Making Choffy a part of your day gives you a boost of antioxidants and other naturally occurring substances that promote a healthy body and promote weight loss. The famous clip of Dr. Oz recommending Choffy specifically identifies that Choffy certainly can help with weight loss.

Workers spend an average of $1000 yearly on Coffee!

Would you be surprised if I told you that you probably spent $1000 a year on coffee last year? If true you would be among the average of coffee drinkers spending probably way more than they ever thought they would on addictive beverages such as coffee.

Instead of just going cold turkey and leaving a void in your day, why not try Choffy? Choffy is a fantastic alternative to coffee, without the addiction, the caffeine, and without the crash! Choffy is not only delicious, contains a natural stimulate (theobromine), but is also as healthy in antioxidants as two servings of blueberries!

But isn’t Choffy just as expensive as coffee you ask? When you compare Choffy to going to Starbucks every day, Choffy can be 10x cheaper! If you brew your own coffee, the price of Choffy in comparison is similar to a premium coffee. However, Choffy doesn’t have the addictive chemical of caffeine and a slow but longer lasting energy boost from theobromine, meaning less trips to the coffee pot!

Start saving money today and kick that coffee habit, with Choffy!

New Choffy Flavor: Mamberamo!

Doesn’t that name just make you want to dance?! Choffy’s newest flavor is called Mamberamo, and it comes from Papua New Guinea (that’s north of Australia, south of the Philippines). The name itself is from the river ”Mamberamo”. The variance in flavor comes from the soil the Cacao is grown in, pretty amazing huh? Choffy is 100% Cacao so there isn’t anything added to it to make different flavors, it’s all based on where it is grown. The team at Choffy has been testing Cacao from all over the world and this new flavor brings a distinct and delicious taste to the Choffy lineup.

I was lucky to try Mamberamo early on before it was released, and I have been looking forward to it ever since! The flavor is fresh and smooth, and I’m interested to see if it becomes my new fav flavor (right now it is Ivory Coast). The Choffy website describes it this way:

This limited edition Choffy has an exotically deep smoky chocolate flavor with subtle hints of spice. This Choffy is exceptionally smooth and rich, mirroring the land from which it comes.

If you are new to Choffy I still suggest trying out the Ivory Coast flavor first, then if you like that it is definitely worth exploring the other flavors, including the new Mamberamo and the bold, wide flavor of La Espanola. Be sure to tell them you heard about Choffy from brewedchoc.com!

Does Choffy Help with Weight Loss?

A lot of attention has come to Choffy after being featured on Dr. Oz and I wanted to address this frequent question I get about Choffy and weight loss. Does Choffy really help with weight loss? The answer to this question comes from a recent study that shows that cocoa polyphenols (antioxidants) can help with weight management in conjunction with a low calorie diet.

The study was done “in vitro” which means it was just done in the lab and is chemically-based, not with humans or even animals. Much of the basis of concepts start at this stage research-wise. The researchers looked at a few different sources of cocoa extracts and tested to see how they would inhibit three different common digestive enzymes. The study found that the least processed cocoa extract inhibited these enzymes the best, and the consequences of that, in concept, means that our bodies would not absorb as many calories from the food that we eat. The caveat would be it would only make sense when the person is not overindulging in calories because at that point the effect would be offset by the abundance of calories.

Of course this hasn’t been used in a clinical study yet, but we can see that besides the cardiovascular and brain health benefits, there are health benefits to the chemical make up of Choffy that should help with weight management. With Choffy already being a low calorie drink, this alone has great merits for weight management, especially since it is tasty and satisfying!

Choffy Brewing Instructions

The best way to enjoy Choffy is with a French Press, so I will include those Choffy brewing instructions first, followed by Auto Drip Coffee Maker instructions:

French Press

1. Measure the amount of water you wish to brew, measuring in 6 oz. increments (I usually do 36 oz. at a time, that’s what fits in my press).

2. Heat the water in a pot, kettle, or in the microwave to almost boiling. (We have a hot water tap that we use and it is hot enough for our liking)

3. Add 2 Tbsp Choffy per 6 oz. of water (I add 3/4 cup Choffy for my 36 oz. press) into the press.

4. Pour almost boiling water into the press and mix with a spoon if needed.

5. Place top and piston onto the French Press, but do not depress yet.

6. Steep for 4 minutes

7. Slowly depress piston until it stops. If your piston is hard to push down you probably need to manually clean the screen on your press.

8. Add creamer to taste (I prefer French Vanilla from International Delight or CoffeeMate)

 

Auto Drip (Coffee Maker)

1. Be sure to use a gold or nylon filter for best results

2. Measure 2 Tbsp. Choffy for every 6 oz. water

3. Follow instructions for auto drip coffee maker.

4. Add creamer to taste (I prefer French Vanilla from International Delight or CoffeeMate)
