A Note from the Nutritionist
Welcome to the February 2007 edition of "circle of health"! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it seems fitting to focus this issue on the everlasting symbol of the holiday - the heart. We focus on maintaining a healthy heart through a variety of tools. Luckily, chocolate, another key feature of the holiday, can play a part. In a follow-up to last month's feature on healthy skin, we will also delve into the role that calcium plays in beauty. - Michelle Gibeault Traub, R.D.

ADORA TIP OF THE MONTH!
Savor the Flavor
 Last month we asked for your Adora tips and we were overwhelmed by your thoughtful responses. Your suggestions were SO great that we created a new page on our Web site for your tips.
Visit Adora Tips to read what readers like you had to say.
CONGRATS to our winner, Anne - she wrote: "In order to keep myself from eating more of my Adora than I should or need to (for me 1 disc three times a day) I let my disc melt in my mouth (I try not to chew it). After savoring the flavor in this way I always want another (and another and another) but have found that when I get through with the disc, if I rinse my mouth with a refreshing mouth wash--it changes my taste needs and cleans my mouth also. It works for me."
Great tip Anne! Letting your Adora melt in your mouth can be an exercise in true patience, but it is a great way to let your body really appreciate the taste. It is also practicing what is called Mindful Eating (a powerful weight loss technique).
