I had a discussion yesterday where everyone told me the only thing that keeps you healthy is your diet. Walking 2 to 3 miles a day, bike riding, elliptical (and I do one or 2 of these every day). Will do nothing to keep you healthy. While I agree diet is 80% of the battle for weight loss, exercise helps your organs, circulation etc....but 5 people disagreed with me. Your thoughts?

Not enough context.
You seem to indicate that diet is important for weight loss, while exercise is important for fitness. Both are important for everyone.
I have a difficult time believing that 5 people in a discussion agreed that diet alone was important to overall health and exercise was completely unimportant.
Well they are all people they don’t exercise so maybe that’s why.
I think it’s 80% diet and 20% exercise for weight loss. I do know someone who improved there kidney function from walking on a treadmill everyday though and wasn’t particularly eating well. But I guess each person is different.

I believe that pushing away from table with ARMS is the start and exercise to one's ability. I was the exercise queen all my life and now I deal with advanced damaged joints aka advanced arthritis. I'm 80 and stretch a lot and thank goodness my joints can stretch good. And what we put on our plates is important.
Gold path is always in the middle.
You balance both.
Amount of energy spent should be more than energy consumed. It's baseline. No, you will not run out of energy, as there are 3 sources of it and you know only one. Food.
That said, heart is just as much a muscle as any other.
Lungs require good core strength and large chest along with good posture or, you will restrict lung capacity in your best efforts.
If you want to build up chest/lungs volume, this will be you best friend, just with a twick. You want to lay much higher up on the bench, with its edge being roughly at the lower shoulder blade margin. Then you SLOWLY lower weight, as far as you cna possibly reach, while continuously inhaling. Keep legs bent at the knees and wide apart for balance. It takes a few times to get the jist of it, if you pay attention to what you do and align inhale with downward arm movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_T0Qz_XKg
But what you will notice right away, after even only 5-8 of repetitions, is that when you stand up, your tummy sucked itself in and chest is literally barreling up and out.
As far as you overcome the initial fear and discomfort with it.
As of diet vs exercise. Forgot who the runner was... he was one of the world best marathoners. When he died, they found that his arteries were plugged with plaque yet, because he had very powerful developed heart, pumping blood in, his arterial vessels were stretched to still allow fully functional blood passage.

most women would be happy to weigh 300 pounds if they looked like a super-model.
so it's NOT about actual weight.
most men would be happy to weigh 300 pounds if they were making NFL money.
not about weight.
diet is about looking good.
exercise is about feeling good.
why not try for both?
