Be prepared as he is about to enter the period of time where most of us started to notice the side effects. Stock up on liquid foods, like VHC and try to stay on top of all his medical issues. Make sure he drinks his daily water to stay hydrated. The war is about to begin. I hope he is spared but chances are he won't be.
