Why is the study of health important to the christian?

Some Christians believe that the human body is "a temple" and believes this temple is the home to Jesus Christ. With that belief is the strong desire to keep the body "clean" from any bad habits such as smoking, drinking, over-eating, etc. Therefore, they would also value the study of preventative health and cures for illness since all persons do encounter common viruses and bacteria.
