> Dad has no patience for those who say your healthspan is predetermined. At 80 he has no memory issues, no aches, no pains, no depression.

The author's father is apparently blessed with no genetic predisposition for memory/cognitive disorders, degenerative physical disease, etc...

Everybody is different. What works for the author's father may not work for everybody else. Take the above article with a grain of salt.

Yeah, that's covered very clearly in the article: "Dad’s been generous to share what he does each day with us all. But let me be clear: all of the standard caveats apply to his approach. This is NOT necessarily a prescription for a healthy life."
