Felt like popping in and contributing my $0.02 (CDN), as I just got off a telephone "visit" with my family doctor. (TL;DR version: Touch of bursitis but won't be hard to fix; bloodwork fine; getting blood pressure machine to monitor numbers at home; talk to you in a few months, bye!)
I wouldn't say that religious belief or non-belief informs my attitude towards my body, other than that I don't believe in "miracle" fixes and don't expect a god to save me from my own miscues. If I want it, I have to work for it -- and I do. In better shape now, at 63, than ten years ago. I walk to and from work (about 12-13 miles a week), and walk a lot when I travel. (In fact, I managed to fix a wonky right knee on a trip to Iceland two years ago, just by walking up and down some rather steep streets in 101 Reykjavik for five days.)
Cultivating and maintaining good health does benefit if you are able to face the reality of your situation. Beyond that, it can go either way regarding belief: A cancer patient may use religious faith to summon the courage for another round of chemotherapy, and a non-believer may find that same courage in other ways. Both may indulge in unhealthy things for the sake of short-term pleasure. Ultimately, it's what we do that matters, not what we believe.

Wow, what a pathetic little child you are.
Tell you what, if you want decent discourse, then engage with people. If you don't, fuck off.
But don't be an arrogant little cunt.

I mean sure, atheists know about how god is bullshit, but have you ever even seen a svelte nutritionist that doesn't believe in god?
Dummies.
I'm actually pretty amazed at the nutritionists I have known. They all pretty much have been grazing on gravy-covered potatoes, from what I've seen. And atheists, when viewed closely, resemble imperfect people, too- they just don't believe in a god- that's their "problem". Richard Dawkins is also 79 years old, atm. Sam Harris- Hey OP, what are his health problems? I smell an xtian.
Speak for yourself, I'm perfect in every way imaginable.

I've got a beard AND I want to eat and drink (not much for alcohol but I drink a lot of water; didn't eat for three days once, just couldn't maintain that lifestyle) AND I want to be a smart ass in internet comments when I'm moved to do so.
But I'm a 59 year-old nonvirgin adult with a partner and smiling, not crying.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
