Did you know... that bad nutrition can turn on viruses? Certain viruses can be activated to spread disease if you lack vitamin E and/or selenium, rich in whole grains, seafood, garlic and Brazil nuts, say U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers. Vitamin alert! A typical one-a-day vitamin-and-mineral pill boosted certain immune responses in older people by 64 percent, according to researchers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. This should lower the risk of colds and other infections, they said.
Mike Terrell: Highlands still a classic
With the even pitch of the slopes, wooded terrain and lack of housing and lodging at the bottom of North Peak, you feel like you are on the backside of Keystone's powdery Colorado slopes. You're just missing a couple thousand feet of vertical. On snowy days it's the last place they groom and the last to get skied off, according to knowledgeable lift attendants. The classic Bavarian-themed main lodge and hotel with its ivy covered walls completes the picture as you first pull into the parking lot and look up at the Highlands; an appropriate name for a timeless resort. New this year at the resort is the Highland's Aonach Mor Moonlight Dinner, which is a great way to top off a day on the slopes. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. when you are transported by sleigh from the Slopeside Lounge to North Peak's beautiful day lodge with wall-to-wall windows and soaring pine ceilings.

Valentine's Day 'petaways'
Valentine's Day is coming up, but it's not too late plan that romantic getaway you've been dreaming about—and there's no reason why Fido and Fluffy can't come along too.

Healthier Hanukkah
Some things just naturally go together — meatballs and spaghetti, Sacco and Vanzetti, Jewish food and ... fat. Not anymore. Nechama Cohen, founder and CEO of the Jewish Diabetes Association, slashes her way through the schmaltz (chicken fat) with "Enlitened Kosher Cooking,’’ (Feldheim Publishers, $39.95), a lusciously photographed cookbook with more than 250 good-carb, healthy-fat, sugar-free recipes that nourish the soul without damaging the heart. "I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1985 and was presented with a real kitchen challenge," recalled Cohen, who spoke to me by phone from her home in Israel, "so I started ‘enlitening’ recipes. After 20 years it was time to put them in writing!" But you needn’t be diabetic or kosher or even Jewish to appreciate these healthful and elegant recipes that are short on deprivation and long on flavor.
