Certainly exercise has a profound effect on your long term health. Regular exercise
that helps you burn calories has been shown to help you live longer. Adding some type of weight (resistance) training can help you live better.
This doesn’t, however, allow you to eat whatever you wish. I have had more than one
endurance athlete come in for a check up only to find that their cholesterol profile was terrible. Simple changes in diet brings this back in line.
Keep in mind that elite athletes don’t eat just anything. There is, in fact, a tremendous amount of research now about nutrition targeted at the proper diet for athletic training.
