All the sounds in this track derive from recordings made with a computer mouse and keyboard, using Pure Data to convert individual keys to musical notes. The combined sounds were then subjected to various effects, including delay and reverb.

Whole nuts are a good source of fiber and nutrients, but are they heart-healthy? Many studies relate nut intake and longevity, including the famous Seventh Day Adventist studies from Loma Linda, California. This week, Dr. Kahn shares three studies on nuts: one that shows improved heart health, one that shows a healthier gut leading to heart health, and one that shows resistance to frailty with aging. He makes a compelling case to eat nuts most or all days. Dr. Kahn also discusses the 30-second sit-stand test that you should try, which can be found at cdc.gov/steadi/pdf/STEADI-Assessment-30Sec-508.pdf. Finally, he reviews three papers on why adding GG-Pure or Xtend-Quinol from www.xtend-life.com may protect against insulin resistance when taking a statin cholesterol medication.
