Diet. +3: More fresh produce, more veg, more fibre, trending to less meat, especially red or cured. Ready meals right down.

Exercise. -1: I’m restricted anyway in what I can do but it’s been notched down now.
Sleep pattern. -0.5: it’s always been erratic and lockdown has made it a little worse.
Alcohol. The same: a bit high but little change if any.
