Andrew Weil
Sound Bite
You know that drinking tea is good for you. Green tea, in particular,
helps guard against heart disease and cancer. Taking a break to sip your
favorite brew can be a welcome respite, time to catch your breath and
gather your thoughts before diving back into your busy day. Put the
kettle on and chill. 
Back Story
Weil wrote The Marriage of the Sun and Moon in 1980. But the new
age medic came of age around 1984 when he gained notice for teaching
yuppies how to walk on hot coals at his home in Tucson, Ariz.--the same
way author Anthony Robbins got his start. Weil calls himself a proponent
of "integrative medicine," which "seeks to restore the
focus of medicine on health and healing rather than disease and
treatment." Weil was once a writer for the druggy High Times,
and his latest, The Healthy Kitchen: Recipes for a Better Body, Life,
and Spirit, has sold 333,000 copies since 2002.
