You are what you eat
What you eat determines how healthy of a person you are. So to be fit you must eat healthy. It was first used in the 1960's (during the hippy era). It originally referred to eating wholefood.

We received this email from a site visitor:
the idiom "you are what you eat" or "Der Mensch ist was er isst" originated
with Ludwig A. Feuerbach, a student of the popular philosopher Hegel. Feuerbach was known for being a materialist, believing that only matter bound by space and time is reality. Accordingly, the material we consume becomes us.
