They go, hey, everything's cool, no problem.

And they become relaxed and they turn on their defenses and we age rapidly.

We can see it in the clock.

People who exercise and eat less have a slower ticking clock.

It's a fact.

Well, my first answer is not scientific.

It's philosophical.

If you don't enjoy life, what's the point?

And so I'd like a cup of coffee in the morning, a little bit of milk, a spoonful of yogurt's not going to kill me.

Olive oil doesn't have protein or carbs in it, not many.

And so I'm probably not affecting those longevity pathways negatively.

But without that, first of all, I wouldn't enjoy my life as much.

Well, the olive oil is not as great as the yogurt, but I'm trying to optimize and there's no

perfect solution to what we're doing.

And we're still learning.

We don't know what's optimal for me, let alone everybody else.

But I'm with you.

I don't believe that taking a couple of spoonfuls of something, unless it's high fructose corn syrup, is going to hurt you.

The point about doing this is that you try to do your best.

If you go from regular living to don't eat the whole day, you're going to fail.
