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.
