Phyllis: A couple of calls to action for you. The first one. First, one of the scientific things we've<br />
learned is that 40% of dementias are actually preventable with lifestyle modification. Now,<br />
notice I said dementia, not Alzheimer's disease. What are those things? Well, I'm here to tell you<br />
because this is what you're going to go home and start doing today. Mediterranean diet, exercise,<br />
quit smoking, drink in moderation, cognitive engagement, social engagement, and tightly control<br />
your blood pressure.<br />
Now, here's the biggie: sleep 7 to 8 hours every night. Working moms, people who are taking<br />
care of elderly parents. You're going to laugh at me when I say that, but leave the dirty dishes in<br />
the sink and go to bed for 7 to 8 hours of sleep. It's the only time that the brain janitor and the<br />
microglia actually clean up the pathology for you. That's your number one call to action for<br />
yourself.<br />
Here's the more important call to action for every single person sitting in this room, in this chair, and<br />
everyone watching this on <strong>Ideagen</strong> TV. You are sitting in a position of influence. That's why you're<br />
here. You may be someone who actually works in a health system and can influence someone to<br />
make a change, be a champion. You may be someone who knows a funder who wants to move this<br />
field forward and is willing to provide a grant. You may be able to help a startup that is doing<br />
something in digital health or diagnostics and move this forward. You may be just willing to raise<br />
your hand and say, I don't know exactly what I can do, but from where I sit, I want to help.<br />
