Not necessarily. Nobiles of the past had a diet similar to ours. Higher fat, carbs, sugars, more processed, not exactly healthy. They were also far less active then their servants and highly, highly, inbred. And while they had healthcare, I wouldn’t necessarily call it good healthcare. Having access to more food energy helps but it isn’t a magic bullet.
I promise it was a lot healthier than starving during the winter
As for the rest you’re really relying on a generalization that’s based on what is essentially the highest ranked nobles of the later Renaissance period.
In 1100 AD their marriages were insular, but not hapsburg level. And generally nobles were expected to have some martial prowess or at least look like they did.
But I think this comes down to the bigger issues of people lumping in the middle ages and the Renaissance, and to be completely fair no one specified either
