Seeing who's for the brain, you really have to put in the work to take care of it.
And so if we don't, even if we're in our 20s and 30s,
Like we were saying earlier, a bad night's sleep, not eating well, choosing a sedentary life, having poor relationships that is constantly creating stress in our life, not really pushing ourselves to learn something new, to experience something new and be creative.
What happens is your brain starts accumulating these bad proteins that you just talked about, amyloid beta protein and tau tangle.
And after a while, that damage really shows itself.
Like when we actually do MRI imaging of our patient's brain, right, you can actually see white spots.
We call it white matter disease.
And that could be related to bad blood pressure.
It could be related to high cholesterol.
It could be related to loneliness and social withdrawal, not treating sleep apnea and not living a healthy lifestyle.
So you can actually be in that stage for decades before the first symptom of like forgetfulness comes about.
That's what we meant in the book.
I wanted to add something.
Yes, please.
And I think this is really important and people might find it useful.
When we expose our brain to something that could potentially harm it, we don't feel it when we're younger.
We actually don't have any pain receptors in our brain.
You don't?
We don't.
So that's why I don't know if you've actually seen these neurosurgery videos where, you know, they have somebody's skull open up and they have their eyes open and they just kind of poke at the brain and the person is playing the violin to see which part of the brain they're touching.
