Question

What is the importance of feeding bearded dragons the correct diet?

Answer 1

If you don't feed them the correct diet, they will not live a long or healthy life; it's simple as that. Bearded dragons can (and should) live 10+ years, but to be able to do that, you need to feed them healthy insects, greens, and calcium & multi-vitamin powder.  Here is a list of all the things Beardies can eat, and also what they should only eat occasionaly, and what they should never eat.
