But what health goals should we be setting this year and how can we be sure to keep them?  This hour, the latest science on health, diet and fitness including why nuts are the perfect snack food and whether exercise trackers are effective.  Marty talks with STELLA VOLPE, Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition Sciences at Drexel University, RICHARD MATTES, Professor of Nutrition Science at Purdue University and NATE MECKES, Assistant Professor of Applied Exercise Science at Azusa Pacific University.
