Signs you're healthy

Fitness
A 30-year-old man with above average strength and fitness should be able to do over 25 push-ups in a minute and over 35 squats.

Vital signs
A resting pulse of around 70 beats per minute and a respiratory rate of around 16-20 breaths per minute don't make you an athlete, but they do make you a normal, healthy adult.

Stool
A good stool is torpedo shaped, soft and easy to pass. Colour can depend on what you've eaten, but it shouldn't generally be grey, very pale, too dark or bright red. A mid-brown stool, passed easily and regularly without any sudden change in bowel habits is one sign of decent digestive health.

Urine
A good colour is also a sign that your liver is working efficiently. A darker yellow probably just means you've been drinking less - drink more to avoid the symptoms of dehydration. But dark or red-tinged urine - or pee with a sweet or strange odour - can be a symptom of health problems.

Hair
In particular, healthy hair can be a sign of a healthy diet. Dull, dry and brittle hair can be caused by a lack or protein, vitamin E or essential fatty acids.

Tongue
A tongue with a warm, pinkish colour is one clue that you are absorbing sufficient iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. An overly pale and smooth tongue can be a sign of anaemia, while a yellowish tint can suggest fungal infection.
