Limiting alcohol intake, again, which is probably linked to heart health too, if not eliminating it entirely. And again, the literature really vacillates a lot. Is red wine good or not? Is a beer every once in a while? I mean, it seems to go back and forth. But again, clearly limiting alcohol intake is important.

Moderate exercise that I would argue would include aerobic exercise, flexibility, and then strength training too, but moderately. That seems to be pretty important as well. I think if you mix in all of those different factors, and I noticed in some of the pre-podcast notes, you had alluded to some of the studies that have been examining this, that have looked at kind of these factors.

Lifestyle behavioral interventions that include social interaction, you know, diet and exercise and such. And, you know, they have shown at least in a preliminary fashion, some promising results.

Now, one thing you can't discount, you know, genetics plays a role in longevity. We can't ignore that. That being said, though, for example, if you look at dementia and lifetime prevalence of dementia risk, and you can probably look at mortality factors and dementia risk, and there's probably quite a bit of overlap in those two.

You know, the most recent evidence of synthesizing all the available literature suggests, you know, 40% of dementia risk is modifiable, which is significant, but it also necessitates really a life course, lifespan, if not public health approach to achieve that, so.

Yeah, I mean, we could spend all day thinking of, well, you know, I had my, this grandparent did this and this father. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you know, I guess the best way to approach this is what are the elements that you can control?

You know, if there is a history of certain significant health factors in one's family, you know, is to be screening that and determining how one can, if not prevent it, manage it effectively and, you know, proceed the best way possible that way. You know, one tried and true way we know extends the lifespan clearance, but none of us want to do. What do you think it is? Let me ask you all.

What do you think it is? There's one tried and true way. At the very least, an animal model seems to suggest is the case. What do you think it is?
