I was writing generally. There are exceptions to every rule. It is one thing to take care of your body, but the health nuts take it well beyond that. To a Bible-believing Christian, spiritual health is more important. Frankly, it does no good to extend one’s life a year or two if one faces eternal damnation when one dies.
Additionally, I think there’s something abnormal about the relatively recent fixation on health. It’s strange that that focus is (generally) coming from the same folks who are pushing the homosexual agenda and abortion, both of which are unhealthy. I do agree many modern Christians seem to be caught up in this health craze. While they don’t (generally) buy into the left’s sacraments of sodomy and abortion, I think they would be better to focus on Christ.
The wac job people you talk about are maybe 1% of the people in the health industry and that is probably a high figure. And who cares anyway? I know people with many other hobbies that place their hobbies over God. Why the hate on people who talk care of themselves? Why are you picking on them?

Isn't there parts in the Bible that talk about sloth and treating your body as a temple?

You are so wrong on this it's frightening. People have a "fixation" on health today due to the fact many know what an unhealthy eating lifestyle has done to them and their families and are sick of going through life fat/lack of energy/chronic health conditions it brings(fat).

Why not do both? (health and Christianity?)
Face it we have a serious health crisis in the country due to obesity.
