A balance of both diet and exercise are important for many reasons:

A nutrient dense wholesome diet with a variety of foods is necessary to properly fuel the body.

Ingested foods directly correlate to bodily function: operation, emotional feeling, thinking, rest, rejuvenation, energy levels, sight, hair, skin color, skin elasticity, etc

There is a massive difference between a 500 calorie meal filled with animal or plant based foods VS  a 500 bomb of processed or fried foods.  The later option is un-fulfilling due to it’s lack of nutrients and will leave you hungry for more of that more often.
