Sure. And if you rely heavily on driving to get to work your chance of dying in an auto accident definitely go up. If you walk regularly your chances of being mugged definitely go up. If you regularly import moles into your backyard your chances of seeing a molehill definitely go up.

But then again, if every time you're eating raw vegetables it's in place of eating fast food, I'd say your chances are going down.
