Is your weight within a healthy range for your height?

• Your Body Mass Index (BMI) can help indicate whether your weight is within a healthy range, but it doesn’t tell the full story. Factors like muscle mass and body composition also play a role in overall health.

Is your waist measurement less than half of your height?

• A high waist-to-height ratio can be a sign of carrying excess visceral fat, which is linked to health risks like heart disease and diabetes. Keeping your waist measurement below half of your height is a simple guideline for better health.

Are you consuming the right amount of calories for your goals?

• Whether you want to maintain, lose, or gain weight, your calorie intake plays a key role. Eating too much can lead to weight gain, while eating too little may cause fatigue, muscle loss, and slower metabolism.

Are you paying attention to portion sizes?

• Even healthy foods can lead to excess calorie intake if portion sizes are too large. Being mindful of servings can help maintain balance without restricting yourself.

Are you eating a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients?

• A well-rounded diet fuels your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and energy. Prioritising whole foods and a variety of nutrients helps you feel and perform at your best.

Are you consuming enough protein, healthy fats, and fibre?

• Protein helps with muscle repair, healthy fats support brain function, and fibre aids digestion. Including all three in your diet helps maintain energy levels and overall health.

Do you get your 5-a-day from fruit and vegetables?

• Fruits and vegetables provide essential fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants. Eating a range of colours is an easy way to ensure you get a variety of nutrients to support your immune system, digestion, and overall health.

Are you staying hydrated throughout the day?

• Water is essential for everything from digestion to brain function. Aim for around 6-8 glasses a day, or more if you’re active.

Do you get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week?

• 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity (like running) per week supports heart health, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Are you incorporating strength exercises at least twice a week?

• Building and maintaining muscle isn’t just for athletes—it’s essential for metabolism, bone health, and injury prevention. Strength training at least twice a week can help keep your body strong and resilient.

Are you getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night?

• Sleep is when your body repairs and recharges. Lack of sleep can affect mood, energy, and even metabolism, so prioritising quality rest is key.

Do you allow your muscles time to recover between workouts?

• Rest days are just as important as workouts. Giving your muscles time to recover helps prevent injury and promotes muscle growth.

Are you managing stress in a way that supports your overall well-being?

• Chronic stress can impact your health as much as poor diet or lack of exercise. Finding ways to relax—whether through mindfulness, exercise, or hobbies—can improve overall well-being.
