You take care of your brain,

and you will see that it will stay in good shape.

If you wait too long, then you have too many problems to take care of.

Your brain may have too much inflammation.

The blood vessels may be too clogged up.

The rinsing mechanism may be profoundly affected.

We still can change.

We can still improve things.

But I tell you, I'm in my 60s and I definitely plan to be sharp and independent when I get to my age 90.

Because having...

reviewed the literature every day, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't.

Of course, I can get hit by a car.

I may develop cancer that I don't know about.

But, you know, considering that those are small possibilities, there's no reason for my brain to decay and decline just because I go to my 70s.

And in my eighties.

And you know, in Washington DC, I have a circle of friends and many of my friends are in their sixties, some in their seventies, some in their eighties.

And many of them, almost all of them are sharp, independent, you know, play golf, travel, cook, work, consult.

They have a full, meaningful life.

in their 70s and 80s.

90s is a different story, but I think it's very reasonable to become a brain super-ager, someone who reaches the age of 90 and is sharp and independent.
