Ayurveda recorded this thousands of years ago. Diet is your destiny. Many dishes, many diseases. More people die due to overeating than due to malnutrition. But overeating statistics are distributed as deaths due to Obesity, High BP, Diabetes, Cancers, etc.
Food sustains life.
But as epitomized in the idiom 'not by bread alone', it is not the only thing that keeps the life going. Coronaries, our lifelines, need fresh air, pure water and fruits. Not fried, fatty and fast food. The ultimate Truth is that life stops when wastes from the ingested food and from the thoughts assimilated are not discharged or expelled regularly and in the quantity equal to intake. Don't indulge and you won't bulge.
