Regular exercise helps prevent and manage chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Intensity refers to how hard your body is working during physical activity, usually categorised as low, moderate or vigorous. There are different types of exercise and all types of exercise have health benefits:

Blood pressure is the force of your blood on the walls of your blood vessels. It is written as systolic/diastolic e.g. 120/80.

Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in your arteries when your heart contracts and pushes the blood around your body. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when your heart relaxes and refills with blood between heartbeats.

High blood pressure increases your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke.

Blood glucose (blood sugar) is the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. The level rises after you eat food.

Normally, blood glucose levels stay within a narrow range. A high blood glucose level over time can potentially be an indicator of pre diabetes or diabetes, which can have severe long-term health consequences, such as eye diseases and kidney problems.

Cholesterol is a type of fat made in the liver and found in some foods. While it is essential for life, a high cholesterol level in the blood increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Eating (or food) habits refer to why and how people eat, which foods they eat, with whom they eat and the ways they obtain, store, use and discard food. The amount and types of food each person needs varies depending on factors like gender, age, how active they are and if they have health conditions.

In general, healthy eating habits include consuming a variety of foods from all food groups:

Smoking refers to the use of any tobacco or nicotine products, such as cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes.

One standard drink of alcohol is equal to:
100ml of red/white wine
375ml mid-strength beer

30ml of high strength spirit
