Euphoric Green Tea

This week I stumbled across a great cafe in the Piazza, a trendy open air retail court in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia. Euphoria Cafe has many healthy menu choices and is the perfect place to read or study, get some work done, or just chill with friends. Euphoria specializes in fruit smoothies, hot and iced tea, bubble teas, coffee/espressos, unique pocket sandwiches and light desserts. The seating and atmosphere was very warm and cozy.  

I really enjoyed my comfortable seating, and green tea. I have been a green tea drinker for many years and I enjoy the taste. In addition, it has many health benefits. Green tea contains antioxidants which are compounds found in certain foods that increase our body's ability to fight illness. As a person who works out frequently, I must say that I train better when I'm not sick. There are studies with some evidence suggesting that long term green tea drinkers my have lower risk of developing heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Moreover, research also shows that green tea can assist your body in both digesting foods and burning calories. This is not the overall solution to weight loss but green tea definitely scores another plus from me as a person with physical fitness interests and goals. So try some green tea and if you enjoy it, add it to your arsenal of health and fitness tools. Then stop by Euphoria and enjoy some green tea or any of their other healthy menu options.

Biceps & Core working together

Hi guys,

 Here is a quick tip that will work your biceps and abs together. Standing bicep curls with proper form also work your core as a secondary muscle. Your core, abdominal area is what stabilizes your body while standing to perform the curl. Moreover, while curling focus on stabilizing your abdominal muscles which will give you more support, and work your abdominal muscles simultaneously. So Lets tackle multiple muscle groups while performing our bicep curls! Let's burn!! 

Cardio

A high intensity cardio routine (burst training) allows you to burn more calories from fat in a shorter period of time, and preserves more lean muscle, which shows your figure, maintains curves if your a woman! Try sprinting on the treadmill for 10 seconds. Then jogging at a slow pace for 40 seconds. This is considered one set. Alternate your 10 second sprint & 40 second jog for ten sets... If that's to much try starting with 5 sets and build your way up. This workout can be performed on a treadmill, on a track, running outdoors or in your living room (jog/sprinting in place). Lastly, this routine keeps your workout interesting! Now let's burn!

Minty Fresh Feeling

Today I infused my water with fresh mint leaves! The mint leaves added a cool sensation to my drinking water. Mint aids in clearing acne; calms the stomach, and also helps eliminate toxins in the body. Furthermore, among other things mint aids in overriding germs and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth.. So if your looking for a healthy way to add a refreshing twist to your water, then add some mint leaves.. Hope you like it!

Healthy Treat

The Supreme Protein Bar is a tasty mass-building bar! Peanut Butter Pretzel Twist is my personal favorite and a delicious treat if you’re big on both flavor and nutrition. One full size bar has 30 grams of whey protein, healthy fats, including flax seed oil, vitamins, minerals and zero trans fat. This bar definitely fits my specific eating habits and fitness goals.
