There's no roadmap for aging, right? And I think that's one of the things this book does, is give you a roadmap. I think Savers provides a blueprint for us to look at and say, here's the things I can do. And they're not. They're not wacky things. I mean, and they're not things that are going to hurt you. It's not like, take this pill for 10 days and you'll reverse your aging by 20 years. It's like grounding is such a natural thing to do, right? My kids used to say, hey, dad, you're a tree hugger. There's good science behind hugging a tree. We are all part of nature, and when we ground with that energy in nature, it has a positive effect on our immune system. Well, in. In Japan, the physicians actually write a prescription to go walk in in nature. If you go in with high blood pressure, they'll say, okay, you need to go walk for one hour in nature three times a week. Wouldn't that be miraculous if our doctors in America did that? And by the way, they have the highest age mortality age of any place on the planet, so they're doing something right.
