So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31. Glorifying God is about knowing when to stop practicing restraint when it comes to food or beverages demonstrates seeking fulfillment in him, rather than trying to be physically filled with other things.

For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of valve in every way, as it holds promises for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8
3. Being Healthy Presents A Good Witness
The Bible tells us we are to be witness for other people. Other people will be able to see that God wants his people to be healthy and be in great spirits so much so God's love bounces off us to others everywhere we go.
