Diet or Exercise: Which is Better?
Written by Corinne Dobbas, MS, RD // May 26, 2010 // Exercise, Health, Nutrition // 2 Comments
There’s always some hubbub around which is more important—diet or exercise—in terms of health. Simply put, BOTH are KEY in our overall lean, green, mean, disease-fighting machine state. However, in terms of specific health conditions, such as losing weight, amping up energy, reducing risk of heart disease, preventing diabetes and cancer, and boosting that mood and ‘tude one may prove to be more effective.
Women’s Health (one of my most beloved mags) contributor Dr. Keri Peterson discusses which in fact plays a larger role in these health conditions. Just watch the below video from the Today Show for the 411. I saw this segment the other day and just had to share. It’s a goodie!
I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by!

Thanks for the vid. I definitely agree with them that it’s easier to avoid eating 500 calories than exercise off 500 calories. But obviously both are so important when trying to lose weight!
