But many people don't know where to start. They don't know what they don't know, so they don't know what to ask. So I'm wondering what light you might be able to shed on that aspect of it from our resources.

Well, I think the balance here is between quality of life and quantity of life with a lot of these things and kind of deciding. And that's where it gets very individual that each person has their priorities and they'll move ahead. So calorie restriction for me, 1100 calories. I don't know if that. the juice is worth a squeeze.

You know, live another year, you know, longer, but I'll be, you know, going through the cupboards all the time that, you know, that that's not necessarily a positive.

But I think also some of the other things, there are some, there are some basic things that people can do that I've been reading about, especially related to dementia is getting enough sleep and getting good quality sleep that there's been, quite a bit of research there.

And also, I just come down that it's this idea, I think if you have some friends, and you stay connected with them, you know, humans are, you know, sort of hardwired to be interacting with other people. And And it serves purposes, not only social, but checking in every day, making sure people are doing okay from day to day. And it's that everyday interaction that I think helps.

And one other question, just a real brief one, is that when you do have a loved one, let's say with dementia that goes into long-term care, it would seem to me that frequency of visits, though short, is probably qualitatively better than feeling like you have to be there for eight hours.

Yeah. It's great to be back.

Oh, that sounds good. So when people think about hospice care, To give it that context is that typically when we have illnesses and different diseases, there are different treatments for it. And as you pointed out from my notes, there's three types of care. Curative care, it's sort of self-explanatory, but that's care that you get to cure the disease.

And so to give an example, let's say you have a strep throat, okay? And you go to see a doctor or nurse practitioner, you know, whatever. And oh, yes, you have a strep throat and you're given an antibiotic and you're cured of your strep throat. That is curative. That is curative care. Remissive care is kind of a big word. And what does that actually mean?

Basically, it's care that's designed to slow down the progress of a disease. In other words, people have diseases that can't be cured. but they can be well managed. So one example is diabetes. Okay. Once you have diabetes with rare exceptions, I know there are things like pancreas transplants and stuff like that, more esoteric.
