From today's Dallas Morning News:
"The Nun Study is a research is being done on nuns well into their 80s, 90s, and even 100s. The women eat nutritionally and don't smoke or drink. They keep physically active and mentally alert by praying, knitting, listening to music, walking, working in their gardens. Upon their deaths, their brains are autopsied. They're riddled with Alzheimer's, but the nuns didn't show it in life. They kept active. All this stuff doesn't prevent the pathology, but it allows you to keep your function. You can't give that as medicine or as a pill. You have to generate this yourself by what you do or how you are, physically or mentally."
