Health is measured by looking at healthy people and generally people in
western industrialized societies aren't considered models of health... even
from 100 years ago. To find health, look at people who are... like the
Hunzas or others living in the Himalayas and then study their dietary
habits. It is those folks and their dietary habits who we try and emulate
as best we can.

It's a generalized conclusion based on reading historical accounts over
several years that include diet details and evidence of generalized
malnutrition due to a lack of variety and availability, particularly
during winters.
Research the charts on average tallness and life spans over the
years...life spans have almost doubled since the early 1800s.
Research farming practices over time and migrations due to crop failures
and burned out farmland.
Note that scurvy, rickets and Vit A depletion blindness is almost unheard
of in the modern world, where it was quite common as recently as the 40s.
Support?
Not counting medical intervention advances that mostly count past the age
of 50, an age that at one time people didn't count on reaching at all...
Too much to even note details...day and night comparisons.
Pick a category and start reading about how things used to be, take a walk
in the woods and wonder why the landscaping amongst tall trees and
multitudes of old foundations of homes, the evidence is evident all around
you. Why did they abandon those hard won homes with the hand dug
basement/root cellar? Where did they go?
The "Good Ole Days" were VERY hard times compared to now on a every
imaginable score.
Consider that an 60-80 hour week in a nasty dangerous factory was enough
of an improvement that people flocked to the cities in droves to take
advantage of the opportunity.
Heat the parlor on Sunday, 2 pair of shoes, 2 pair of pants, three shirts
and thrice darned socks, cabbage, turnips and potatoes on the table on
weekdays and a chicken on Sunday was "Well to do" in the early 1900s.
