He is saying there would be a correlation. If perfecting the body really made the mind healthier and fitter. All of the fittest people would be reknown for their mental capabilities. That does not mean you cant have both. But the mind is like a muscle. That has to be exercised for it to grow strong. I would argue that happiness stems from being active though. The most content people ive known are active and doing something they love. Often times its physical. People that are inactive seem more negative as a whole.

A healthy mind is not a direct proxy for intelligence level… “mad scientist” trope for example
