A healthy diet and regular exercise will, in most circumstances, lower your health care costs through better well-being.

How does diet and exercise reduce healthcare costs? The relationship between diet, exercise, and healthcare costs is pretty straight forward: The less you take care of your body, the more likely it is that something will go wrong with it.

When something goes wrong with your body, you may need to end up forking out on medication and/or treatment.
This will hit you where it really hurts: Your wallet!

Will exercise and diet save you money?
"Look after your body- and your body will look after you". I don't know where I've heard that saying, but it seems to apply quite well to this answer!

Eating well and getting exercise is the best way to boost your immune system. This will mean your body will be ready to fight off bacterial or viral infection.

A good lifestyle will also reduce cholesterol and fat levels, factors commonly associated with diabetes and heart-disease.

Avoiding these kind of illnesses and conditions means you're less likely to need medical attention or medication.

Finally, replacing unhealthy snacks (that contribute very little to your well-being) with relatively cheap fruit and vegetables will certainly save you money on your weekly grocery bill!

Yes, health diet and exercise does positive impact on the
health. But before taking the decision to diet consult with the dietitian. They
give you the best diet chart on basis of the current situation of your
health.

Both diet and exercise can affect your cardiovascular health. A high-fat diet can result in obesity, high cholesterol, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes and other costly maladies. Regular exercise improves your heart's health and can lower blood pressure and cholesterol over time. Those with chronic heart problems can also benefit from exercise.

Healthy diet and regular exercise not only improve overall wellness of your health, but it will lower health care costs.
 
How does this work? Because if your body is fit and healthy, your immune system is strong and you are not easily prone to infections and viruses/bacterias that will attack us.

When we are not easily falling sick, like cough, fever, flu, then we will be visiting the doctor less often, thus can actually save some money from there.
