And actually more recent research shows that those who have a positive attitude live longer, they're less likely to develop dementia.
And so it's probably maybe less stress, better behavior, but more recent research shows that if you have a more negative attitude overall of what can happen as you get older, but a more positive attitude about what you can do, your own personal,
kind of agency over the process, that leads to kind of a longer life.
That's that friction again.
It's the friction.
Right.
And I think if you notice, look, bad things can happen as you get older, but I'm going to have to rise above it by doing these things.
That's the adapt component.
So, you know, attitudes, but also adapting because a lot of, you're not going to have an easy time.
And a lot of the older adults I've talked to said, you know, I've had to adapt to changes, whether it's physical, whether it's mental.
So I think, you know,
They call A adapt and also attitude is very psychological.
And then B is balance, which is what we talked about already.
You know, I don't think it's the super ages are not extremists.
They're not like running marathons and eating, you know, only blueberries.
It's usually something like, yeah, I just do this or that and it works out.
That suggests some sort of genetic component.
I think there is a genetic component, but I also think it's not the extreme.
It's not like you need four cups of coffee today to prevent dementia.
It's probably having some level of balance and some genetic component.
