- The blue zones are back! We discuss the bread that people in the blue zones eat. The most common bread in these regions is sourdough, whole grain/wheat/rye, pita, and cornbread.
- Sarah discusses the seven habits that lead to happiness in old age. This is referred to as the Happiness 401K. The seven habits are: cultivate relationships, prioritize movement, don’t smoke, don’t drink, maintain body weight, manage stress, and lifelong learning.

- Vitamin D levels have been linked to Covid severity. Those with higher levels of Vitamin D prior to getting Covid has a significantly lower chance of getting severe Covid.

- An insurance company in Australia issued free Apple watches to members to help promote increased activity levels.
