@Paul-Martin ; In my opinion number one is health number 2 adaptation 3 discipline respect and loyalty.
So we have
* genetic disposition (thank you parents, grandparents,...for choosing good partners if you are lucky in that category).
* the mindset If you choose to be happy you will be more happy than your next person who chooses to be unhappy (often not a conscious choice). You can do something here.
* eat well. Well ness is not only determined by energy content and composition, but also be being happy while eating.
* lifestyle Use your body, what you don't use you lose (and don't overdo it!)
The post that was quoted here has been removedWell done yo your dad. Sounds like he has great genes!
I have a friend who at 95 still has the occasional cigarette, can eat as much as I do, loves a cake and even downed a double Baileys Irish Cream at 10pm one night. Her only issue is failing sight but she still walks up to the shop or catches a bus into town.
