DID YOU KNOW?
Blood pressure: a normal level is 120/80 (140/90 qualifies as stage one
hypertension, and 90/60 qualifies as hypotension)
Body mass index (BMI): 18.5 to 24.9 indicates a healthy weight
Waist circumference: maximum of 37in/94cm (men), 31.5in/80cm (women)
Alcohol units: 2 per day (men); 1 per day (women)
A half pint/a small glass of wine is one unit
Salt: 6g or less daily
Fat: 90-95g (men); 70g women
Sugar: 120g (men); 90g (women)

Being just 1-2 per cent dehydrated can reduce sport performance by as much as 20
per cent. Your urine should be the colour of pale straw – if any darker, you
need more water.
