Looking for a special gift that encourages a healthier way of life

and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health
is offering a 2007 Keep the Beat Calendar to guide you
through 12 months of eating well, staying active, and keeping your
life in balance.
NHLBI’s annual wall calendar celebrates healthy eating and
increased physical activity—perfect for those just starting
a healthier lifestyle as well as for those already maintaining one.
Each month highlights a particular health theme and contains tools
to help you keep track of your weight, blood pressure, and other
body measurements. The calendar allows you to set and track physical
activity and nutrition goals and contains delicious heart healthy
recipes. The calendar also includes tips for managing diabetes by
controlling blood glucose and weight.
The colorful Keep the Beat Calendars make great gifts

their heart health. Doctors and insurance companies can help their
patients kick off the new year right by providing the calendars
at their practices or with enrollment materials. One twelve-month,
full-color calendar is only $10, with discounts available for bulk
orders.
“This popular calendar is the perfect 12-month planner that
can really make a difference in someone’s life,” said
Karen Donato, S.M., R.D., program coordinator of both We Can! (Ways
to Enhance Children’s Activity and Nutrition), NIH's national
education program to prevent childhood obesity, and the NHLBI Obesity
Education Initiative. “We are committed to helping the public
improve heart health and this calendar can motivate people to set
goals for good nutrition, physical activity, and overall heart health.”
