Do you consider Peat a reference of health state? I mean, his cognitive performance is excellent, no doubt of that.. but is his physical capability at the same level (taking his age as reference)? For me balance between both is key for health.
There's people about his age that still climb ropes, do push/pull ups, manage their body weight, sprint, great flexibility, cold resistant... simple things like that, nothing extreme either.
I'm not talking about running marathons, going to failure or absurdly extenuating tasks. Things usual from a healthy functional physique. For me the capability of the body to respond and cope with several types of short stress sources -not just mental but physical too- is another proof of health. Its a sign of good energy conversion and deployment when the body is pushed from a sudden demand.
