Inequality $\frac{C}{d_{max}} \le \pi $ relating perimeter and diameter of planar convex body

Let $C$ is a perimeter of a convex hull (plane geometry) and $d_{max}$ is the largest distance of two arbitrary points in the convex hull. I am looking for a proof that:

$$\frac{C}{d_{max}} \le \pi $$

What is a generalization of the inequality for higher dimension?
