1000 push-ups a day ain't gonna save you from dementia.

Maybe not excessive pushups specifically, but healthy food and sane amounts of exercise HAVE been shown to decrease the risk or lessen the severity of aging related diseases, most cancers, and more.

It's not a panacea and sometimes you still get the shit sandwich of unpreventable disease or accidents or whatever, but treating your body and brain like you want to keep them ABSOLUTELY makes you more resilient towards all sorts of unforeseeable maladies.
