"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own," 1 Corinthians 6:19

I realise that the context of this verse is fleeing from sexual immorality, but outside of sinful sexual relations, can this verse be applied to such things as overeating/anorexia, smoking/excessive drinking, or purposely putting one's body in harms way? Are these things also mistreating the body AS the temple of the Holy Spirit?
