A member asked:

What is more important for being healthy: eating right or exercising?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet and exercise: A healthy diet and adequate exercise go hand in hand when it comes to improving your health and they aren't really exclusive of each other. Improving your diet is probably easier to get a handle on to start with because there may be physical limitations that take time to overcome or develop with regard to exercise.
