Is it true you can't outrun a bad diet?

You can't out-exercise a bad diet because eating healthy is important for overall well-being, even if you are active.

Explanation

Being physically active is important, but it is not enough to balance out unhealthy eating habits. Exercise helps keep our bodies fit and healthy, but what we eat plays a big role in our overall health.

Why Diet Matters

  • Energy Balance: Eating too much unhealthy food can lead to gaining weight, even if you exercise a lot.
  • Nutrients: Healthy foods give your body the nutrients it needs to work well. Junk food does not have these nutrients.

Community Views

Research shows that people in the community understand that both food choices and staying active are important for health. They see that a bad diet can cause health problems, even if someone exercises.

In conclusion, both eating healthy and being active are important for staying healthy. You can't just do one and ignore the other.
