				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://brewedchoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/brew-coffee-substitute.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-225" title="brew-coffee-substitute" src="http://brewedchoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/brew-coffee-substitute.jpg" alt="coffee substitute chocolate substitute" width="289" height="415" /></a>I meet people every day that are trying to move away from their daily fix of coffee, looking for a coffee substitute. With all the extra chemicals and crash that comes along with it, it&#8217;s a smart move. But as with anything, it&#8217;s easier to stop something by replacing it with something better. Enter Choffy, a delicious coffee substitute made from 100% cacao beans (that&#8217;s chocolate! and no extra chemicals!) and no crash (Theobromine instead of Caffeine).</p>
<p>I also meet a lot of people that LOVE chocolate, but get into a predicament when they are trying to avoid sweets and treats but still want to get that chocolate fix! Enter Choffy! Forget looking for a chocolate substitute! Choffy IS chocolate, but instead of being super processed, Choffy gives you all the benefits of a superfruit, the cacao bean (antioxidants, theobromine, etc). Some drink it without anything added, and that&#8217;s only 20 calories! Most drink it with a little creamer, which puts you at 50-80 calories per serving, making Choffy a fantastic way to get that chocolate fix and appease that sweet tooth!</p>
<p>Choffy was featured on a special episode of &#8220;The Doctors&#8221; today called &#8220;How Eight May Help You Lose Weight&#8221;! Here&#8217;s the segment:</p>

However, not everything is on Amazon, and that includes Choffy. Choffy is sold online ONLY at <a href="http://drinkchoffy.com/brewedchoc">DrinkChoffy.com</a> and is also available through local distributors. If you search for Choffy on Amazon you will find &#8220;Crio Bru&#8221;, which I suggest you avoid and don&#8217;t waste your money. CHOFFY is 100% the real deal when it comes to brewed chocolate! There is no substitute!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried all their different varieties and NONE of them even comes close to the richness of Choffy. Crio Bru is bland and lacks flavor and richness. I even experimented making both the exact same way, Choffy wins out in every way. Don&#8217;t waste your money on Crio Bru, and buy the real thing at <a href="http://drinkchoffy.com/brewedchoc">DrinkChoffy.com</a>!</p>

<p>The study compared Acai, Blueberry, Cranberry, Pomegranate, Cocoa Beverage, and Dark Chocolate. Choffy is most comparable to the &#8220;Dark Chocolate&#8221; as the cocoa beverage used in the study is from cocoa powder which is alkalized, reducing its antioxidant activity. If you <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3038885/">look at Figure 2 in the study</a> and compare the &#8220;Choc&#8221; group (Dark Chocolate, which is equivalent to Choffy) to the others, the &#8220;Choc&#8221; group has total antioxidants 2-5X as much as the others, and its antioxidant activity level is nearly double all the others including a well-known superfruit, Acai.</p>
<p>This makes Choffy and its sole ingredient, cacao beans, one of the most potent super fruits available! What are you waiting for? <a href="http://drinkchoffy.com/brewedchoc">Try some Choffy today!</a></p>

The article was about <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57498234-10391704/large-amounts-of-red-wine-compound-resveratrol-may-help-with-balance-in-elderly-people/">a recent study done that shows Resveratrol is beneficial for decreasing motor deficiencies in the aging population</a>. This means better balance, more mobility for aging individuals. The article of course cites red wine as the source, but did you know that Cacao beans (what Choffy is made out of) is also a great source of Resveratrol?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18759443">Another study</a> looked at various sources of Cocoa and their levels of Resveratrol and found the more raw form of Cacao (essentially what you would find in Choffy grinds) has the most amount of Resveratrol.</p>
<p>Resveratrol is known to have many positive benefits, including &#8220;antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-angiogenic&#8221; effects (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22822401">see this Review on Resveratrol</a>).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s exciting to see the research continue to confirm that Choffy is more than just a tasty beverage, but that Choffy is packed with healthy natural compounds. So put down that Pepsi or Diet Coke or Starbucks Latte, and enjoy a real beverage, Choffy.</p>

Do yourself (and your metabolism) a favor and drink some Choffy every day!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To find out more about magnesium&#8217;s role in metabolism, let&#8217;s go to some sources for more information.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium-HealthProfessional/">National Institutes of Health</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Magnesium</strong> 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.</p></blockquote>
<p>From a <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/3-ways-improve-metabolic-burn">Registered Dietician and Dr. Oz</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p></blockquote>
