There are numerous studies that contradict your statement. Here's the first of many that came up for me in Google. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6684954/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6684954/
That's leaving aside the common sense observation of a healthy mind in a healthy body, which dates back at least to the Romans.
