For health, pair fitness with food

Exercise and a healthy diet are essential for losing weight and helping to reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. If you are overweight, losing just 10% of your body weight can lead to a reduction in health risk, according to the American Diabetes Association. Physical fitness and eating well also have many immediate benefits, including improved mood, reduced stress, regular bowel function, more energy and less fatigue, less pain, and fewer inches around your waistline.
