A recent study found that motivation for exercise might be regulated through the gut microbiome (https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/zmkhld/a_microbiomedependent_gutbrain_pathway_regulates/).
A bad diet might make people less motivated to exercise, and both those things are bad for mental and body health.

I feel that's 100% true. Whenever I eat junk food, I'm like, I will go to the gym to burn it off, but then my body feels like it doesn't wa t to exercise later. Similarly, when I exercise, my body wants more healthy food.

Microbiome doesn't change that rapidly from one meal to the next.

Exercise (especially cardio) is so effective for mood and appetite regulation for me that I'm experimenting with running 6-7 days a week just to get "booted up" correctly at the beginning of the day. I've always had scheduled rest days before, but they were always just less nice, and 3 km at easy pace really isn't a lot of stress on the body.
