Well, you could approach it by maintaining a very active lifestyle while you are there. Walk, swim, weight train, stretch, etc.
Good eating doesn't necessarily exclude anything that's actually good food - just the stuff that's actually crap unfood. In Argentina you will find plenty of real food that is not significantly processed. Argentine style grilled meats are served with lots of good veggies too (salad, grilled red peppers, corn, etc), so there is some balance and you don't have to eat that way every day. There is so much to choose from anyway. But even so, the beef will be the best you have ever had. Only beef in Chicago has ever tasted as good to me. Here in California while there's plenty of cattle I never felt that even the best quality was on par with the poorest quality from Argentina. You may claim I am just being silly, but try the beef and report back.
Other places in the world manage to have better quality base ingredients for their cuisine than what we have in the states. To me that's just a fact.
Eat a tomato in Argentina and tell me it's not the best tomato you have ever eaten. My recollection is of thin skinned, non-commercially picked tomatoes of the type you might have grown yourself. Here we call them "heirloom" varieties, there it's what they eat every day.
