A Darkened Theater
A Darkened Theater
A strained voice called out through the darkened theater, "Please, is there a doctor in the house?!"
Several men stood up as the lights came on.
An older lady pulled her daughter to stand next to her, "Good, are any of you doctors single and interested in a date with a nice, Jewish girl?"

Health and Diet:
Trying to cut down on caffeine in the morning? Go for the espresso. Would you believe that 1/3 cup of espresso has about half the caffeine (70-80 milligrams) as a cup of filtered coffee (120-200 milligrams)? Espresso also has fewer calories than coffee when cream and sugar are added. But if you drank a whole cup of espresso versus a cup of coffee you would get double the amount of caffeine. So watch your portion size.
Fitness:
Don't distress there's ways to cope with stress. Get in a comfortable position, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Imagine something that's soothing to you, perhaps the beach on a sunny day or a quiet forest with a babbling brook. Imagine yourself in this peaceful place.
Omega-3 Alternatives
If you want heart-healthy omega-3s, fish oil is not your only option.
Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of dangerous heart arrhythmias, and fish oil supplements are a great source. However, a new study shows omega-3-rich soy oil supplements may provide those heart-health benefits, too, albeit to a smaller degree. Speak to your healthcare provider about the best supplements for you.
