Australian researchers verified that people suffering from obesity are exposed to changes in the structure of the Heart muscle which affect its proper functioning, even if they did not have any heart disease. These changes might lead to later fall in the heart.
These are main factors that cause obesity and consequently cause dangerous disease like heart diseases, diabetes, blood pressure and cancer. But what about the Islamic teachings which was revealed 1400 years ago?
Allah, the Almighty, had specified a golden rule in diet as He said: " and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (All?h) likes not Al-Musrif?n (those who waste by extravagance)" (31:Al A'raf.). The most dangerous thing is extravagance and as long as the person is moderate he will be at the safe side, this is what stated by the western scientists!
Even, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, had given us a remarkable rule in diet which explains Allah's saying (but waste not by extravagance), he peace be upon him says: (the son of Adam had filled a bowl not worse than a belly! Enough for the son of Adam are small mouthfuls to stand him up, but if he was beaten by himself then a third for the food, a third for drink and a third for breath) (the right sequence 2265). The prophet alienated his companions from overeating and said (the son of Adam had not filled a bowl worse than a belly) in order to have in front of their sight while eating that this food might be harmful to them if they fill their bellies with it!

If you need Muhammad to be validated by Western scientists then you must not have much faith in him. Also the teaching of "moderation is good" is far older than Muhammad.

Assuming that he or she believes in Muhammad fully, why wouldn't he or she use new evidence to convince others when it has been discovered?

Well I for one can totally agree with that Islamic doctrine 100%.
I eat hard, workout hard, work hard, and study hard. I bring forth a hell of a lot energy to the day. And when the day is finished, you'll never see someone so calm and relaxed. I work my stresses away, burn through them, and when it's over I indulge myself, but not too much. Most of the time I'm just happy to be fit, healthy, safe, and physically at rest at the moment, with my mind free to ponder.

A lot of traditional religious doctrine that I'm familiar with makes faith mandatory, you cannot believe on the basis of evidence.

No, but you can help others find their faith with evidence.

When it comes to religious claims, "evidence" is at best a loose term. Anything can be spun into "evidence" for the existence of God. It's all about sentiment.

Juridically speaking evidence isn't the same as proof.
If you find a note in a forest saying "Astner was here" you could use that note in court as a piece of evidence for that I've been in said forest. But it isn't proof.

I actually have no idea what the point of that was. Maybe its some kind of sarcasm? I'm not exactly lil'B when it comes to Islam.

There are several philosophies of science and statistics. Most of them do not involve certainty. The now traditional Neyman-Pearson/Fischer significance testing paradigm gets a lot of heat for effectively treating evidence as proof.

I tend to use the words interchangeably; I'd like to be accurate. The impression I'm getting is that evidence "suggests," while proof is "in your face."

I don't know that there is a strict difference but proof tends to imply certainty. Once you have proven something it can never be dislodged, it is an absolute truth. Mathematicians and logicians publish proofs. Theoretician may sometimes also publish proofs but they don't necessarily reflect reality.
Evidence is another term for data. Scientists collect evidence then analyze it either inferentially (Bayes) or deductively (Frequentist) and draw conclusions. Technically these conclusions are always provisional but that phrasing is weak from a rhetorical standpoint and science popularizers have to dodge it all the time. There are many ways of talking about strength of evidence but even things held to the most stringent standards (declaring a particle to exist require higher evidence than anything else I know) can always be dethroned by adding new evidence to the pile.

There's no proofs in the natural sciences, only evidence. And a piece of evidence is any interpretation of an observation that supports a model.
Without bringing up too complex examples, dropping a marble at a flat plate, and then dropping it to have it fall against the earth could be used as evidence for that the earth is flat.
Concussively, evidence in scientific terms doesn't really mean much.

How would that work?

Well, one example could work as follows. Since the plate doesn't screen out the "gravitational" influence of the marble, so wouldn't a flat earth. Hence evidence for why the earth could be flat.

I agree, much of existence is based in a form of faith to some degree. I also believe that we must be open to the possibility that we are wrong to a point. However, I do believe that if reality does not necessitate that a belief is wrong, the possibility that it is right exists. I believe that the choice to follow one belief or another must be based in the results. Regardless of your belief system, I think this Biblical maxim is a good one to use in deciding which beliefs to cling to and which to let go of:
Cling to those things that make life better for the whole and the individual and improve or maintain the general propagation of the species. Now, where the discussion leads is to which beliefs best satisfy this, which is, generally, the discussion of which religion.

Islam teaches us many etiquette's of eating and drinking. The Prophet (PBUH) made a point of developing remarkably clean and healthy eating habits among his followers. He asked the companions to wash their hands before and after, to start eating with the praise of Allah, to eat using the right hand, not to eat until they really felt hungry, not to eat and drink excessively. Finally, by praising and thanking Allah for the food and drink, for making it easy to swallow and for producing an exit for it. Eating, like any other act of a Muslim, is a matter of worship when performed according to the Islamic guidelines. SOME of the many food habits that had been practiced and performed by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him):

Sharing: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), demonstrated to his followers the pleasures of sharing as opposed to over-indulgence in the good things of life. The sharing of food with neighbors, relatives, friends, the needy, and the destitute is emphasized. Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying: "He is not a believer who eats to his fill but his neighbor goes without food." Sahih Bukhari.
Prophet Muhammad elaborated on the duty of the Muslim to suppress greed, especially in eating. This appears in a very specific situation reported by Ibn Umar, in which the Prophet (PBUH) prohibited anyone taking two dates together before asking permission from his companions (Sahih Bukhari).

Eating with others bring about harmony and understanding among people. People are usually more relaxed when eating in company, this is one reason why families should always try to eat Together, not to mention this is the Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet (PBUH) Your mind is less absorbed in your daily activities and are free of worries. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought the attention of Muslims to the importance of eating together (Note: 'Eating together' here does not imply mixed eating by males and females at parties or banquets):
"Eat together and not separately, for the blessing is associated with the company." - Ibn Majah It was also reported that he said, "I do not eat reclining." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5083.
He used to eat using the first three fingers (of his right hand), which is the best way of eating.

Eating slowly is recommended for health. Slow eating reduces the consumption of food, as it postpones much of the meal to a time when the absorption of nutrients begin to produce physiological signals of satiety. Slow eating helps in chewing the food well. This results in the exercise of the jaws and mixing of the saliva with food. Hence, efficient digestion takes place because the food particles are cut into smaller pieces, not requiring as much churning in the stomach or intestine. (Less Heartburn)

This is actually happening
Morning prayers and then leisurely breakfast
This excellence for Muslims
Supplication Before Each Meal: Since eating, like any other act of a Muslim, is a matter of worship, it begins with the name of Allah. Muslims are to start their eating by making the following supplication:
"O Allah! Bless the food You have bestowed upon us and protect us from the torment of hell. In the name of Allah we start. "(OR AT LEAST SAY .. Bismillah) - An-Nasa'i
Supplication After Each Meal: After completing the meal, Muslims praise and thank Allah for the blessing that He bestowed upon them. After finishing their meal, Muslims say the following supplication:
"Praise be to Allah the One Who gave us the food and the drinks. Praise be to Him Who made us Muslims. "(OR AT LEAST SAY .. Al-Humdullilah) - Tirmidhi & Abu Dawud

He taught his ummah something to protect them from diseases caused by eating and drinking. He said: "The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few mouthfuls, to keep him going. If he must do that (fill his stomach), then let him fill one third with food, one third with drink and one third with air. "Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1381), Ibn Maajah (3349); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (2265).
In this Hadith
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
Organized for the Muslims the right diet
To avoid excess weight - disorders of the digestive apparatus - breathing
If people follow this Hadith
Will feel better in health, and vitality

3. emotional stresses
Verily, anger corrupts faith like as the juice of bitter plants corrupt honey.
Whoso suppresses his rage, while he has the power to show himself, God will call on him on the day of resurrection before all creation, and reward him exceedingly.
"Who do you imagine to be strong or powerful?" asked the Prophet (PBUH). "He who throws people down," replied his disciples. "Nay!" said the Prophet, "It is he who masters himself when angry."
Verily, anger is a live coal in the heart of the son of Man; do ye not see the redness of his eyes, and the swelling of his two juglar veins? ...Whoso then feels anything of that, let him stick to the earth.
When one of you is angry while standing, let him sit down; and if his anger goes off from him, (then well and good), otherwise let him lie down.
My Lord has bidden me do nine things: the fear of God in secret and in public; a just word amidst anger and pleasure, and a middle way in poverty and affluence; and that I perform my relative duties to him who cuts off all ties with me, and give to him who denies me, and forgive him who wrongs me, and that my silence be for reflection, and my speaking be for remembrance (of God), and my eye (sight) be to take example, and that I bid justice.
Abu Bakr relates that he heard the Holy Prophet (PBUH) say: "Let no judge decide a case between two parties while he is in a rage."
Verily, Anger is from Satan.

The scientists, as we see, watch nights, make experiments, spend money while they are lost and have no base or structure or light to guide them except what they see by their eyes and touch by their hands, and you find them after hard studies which extends for long years reaching the same results which the prophet of mercy had legislated! Isn't that sufficient evidence on the truth of Islam message?!

From all that has been mentioned, the importance of healthy eating, a balanced diet and hygiene can be understood in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Islam has stressed on the importance of these things right from the start unlike health authorities etc., Which have just recently begun to stress its importance. This could be counted as just another gem that manifests the perfection of Islam.
To talk about Islam and the Qur'an and Sunnah
The duty of every Muslim man and woman and this is from God
God says in the Holy Qur'an ((125) Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guidedghtly] guided
