Cameron Menzies sheds weight and embraces fitness after health issues
According to BBC Sport, 37-year-old Scottish darts player Cameron Menzies has lost five stone after hand surgery following a stage incident at the PDC World Championships last December and subsequent health scares involving high blood pressure and an ectopic heartbeat. Menzies suffered a dizzy spell due to dehydration and high blood pressure during the World Matchplay, prompting medical checks. Advised by doctors to lose weight before resorting to medication, he successfully dropped from his heaviest weight of 21 and a half stone through running and lifestyle changes. Having also embraced sports psychology and hypnotherapy to manage his emotions on the oche, Menzies has recovered to win two PDC ProTour titles this year and is preparing for the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
