I love how people associate being "fit" with being healthy, when there's plenty of "fit" people doing unhealthy things. Like taking ungodly amounts of creatine, whey protein, BCAAs, pre workout, energy drinks, steroids, human growth hormone and other things thar arent the best for your liver and kidneys. Lifting, pressing, squatting, and curling extremely heavy weights, putting unnatural pressure on joints. But nope Andre over there has an 8 pack and 22" biceps, he's healthy as a fiddle.

On average, fit people are also healthier than fat and obese people. That's just a fact. A high body fat is linked to several medial conditions. Not only visceral fat, but also subcutaneous fat. Also, resistance training and developing and keeping your muscles is absolutely beneficial, even more so for middle aged man that tend to lose muscle quickly and this brings a lot of problems.

I understand that we live in an age where many people feel the need to justify everything, especially when it comes to physical appearence, but things are getting really out of hand...to the point many people have no idea what they're talking about but they still need to talk about everything.
