At this point I am quite cynical about any claim that you can get healthier with a specific diet. I can guarantee you that my cyanide and toxic metal diet will make you less healthy but knowing that one thing is true does not automatically mean that you know that another thing is true. Exercise will make most people healthier in general, particularly stuff associated with your cardiovascular system. We know that. That doesn't mean exercise will make you anything else associated with good health. It might not make you thinner, it might not change any sort of index based on medical tests normally done on inactive people. It might not even make you better looking or hotter in any way. We don't actually know any of that other stuff for sure. This all simplifies things a lot. The advice should be: "get some exercise every once in a while. Don't worry so much about stuff that we don't actually know."

As a single guy that checks out girls a lot, I can verify that exercise makes you hotter, if not better looking. Yes, it may be true that healthier people are more likely to exercise exactly because they are already healthy, but I would imagine that is true in less that 1% of the population.

  I don't know, man. If you're trying to make a serious point about health, do you have to cite your expertise as an ogler of women? It sounds like you're trying to allude to something we're all supposed to know, that people past a certain percentage of body fat are all inactive and lazy. Maybe what you meant was that, all things being equal, someone who is strong and healthy is more attractive. That's probably true. But as upofadown pointed out, there are lots of people who are very healthy and strong, and exercise a lot, but their body shape or fat percentage doesn't conform to the desires of the average voyeur.
