Dr. Tea Slims Us Down!
2008-01-30 01:23:00 Mark “Dr. Tea” Ukra’s family has been in the tea business for nearly 200 years. And, even though tea might be in the Ukra’s genes, his father became a tax accountant and Ukra, himself, began his career in business, before returning to his roots in the tea trade. Being a connoisseur of fine foods, wines, tobacco and most of all, teas, Ukra began to purchase rare teas at auctions and meet with fellow enthusiasts during his world travels. As his passion grew, he began looking to establish a place for teaching and learning about teas in Los Angeles. Ukra purchased the original Tea Garden & Herbal Emporium nearly three years ago. It’s at the Tea Garden that “Dr. Tea” was born. During one of its ‘Teas for Tots’ programs, Ukra was speaking to a group of eight year olds about tea when one child commented that he looked like a doctor and another child responded, “he’s Dr. Tea.” The name stuck and from that day...
Fifth Anniversary of National Wear Red Day!
2008-01-29 12:52:00 My uncle keeps a book. It is a recorded history of all family members in my father's family who have died as a result of coronary heart disease. In fact, we have even had a double funeral for two heart attack victims which occurred together--a mother and daughter.Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. One in three American women dies of heart disease. In 2003, almost twice as many women died of cardiovascular disease than from all cancers combined. Though men and women both have heart attacks, more women die from them. Preventive measures, such as quitting smoking, eating less salt, and exercising make a difference. Awareness of your blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride numbers is also warranted. Warning signs for a heart attack include chest discomfort, discomfort in other areas of the upper body, and shortness of breath. Women are somewhat more likely than men to experience other common ...

Terror Rewires Our Brains

At the time, I was filling in for my child's elementary school teacher who was home sick. By background, I am a teacher; my concern of course was for the children. After having a quick conference in the hallway, and because details of the attacks were sketchy at 10 AM for those of us without access to current news, the fourth grade instructors decided not to explain what was happening to the pupils, and rather carry on as usual. The kids caught on though. They knew something was up as child after child was called down to the office for "early dismissal." By 1 PM the majority of the student body had been excused, and even I was told that I wasn't needed any longer. Where did we all go? Home--to our television sets.Psychotherapist Mar...

While they may seem commonplace in today’s fast-paced world, these everyday emotional hurdles can cause a lack of energy, fatigue and even depression, all of which can seriously get in the way of your weight loss efforts.
