When you join Vitality, as well as enjoying the peace of mind of having their awardwinning comprehensive health or life insurance, you also get access to their network of health partners for rewards and discounts. Here, Grazia fashion and lifestyle features director Laura Antonia Jordan shares her healthy eating tips…
MY NATURAL DISPOSITION when it comes to wellness (or, for that matter, life) is: all or nothing. But age and, dare I say it, a bit of wisdom, have taught me that it’s the small, achievable changes that make a bigger difference. Get your steps in, drink more water, try going to bed before 1am: you know the drill. So, yes, I have done every diet, cleanse and fast going. But there is no point existing on broth and broccoli for a week, only to go on a takeaway binge.
But knowing all that doesn’t mean I’m naturally inclined to always do it. Because I lead a busy, unpredictable life, making the right decisions when it comes to wellness isn’t always easy. It’s why I am grateful for Vitality, which has helped me to make positive changes to my diet and wellbeing.
Vitality has helped me to make the right decisions when it comes to healthy eating, making it feel not like a chore or a punishment, but a breeze. Rather than providing me with a strict, quick-fix diet plan I could never stick to long-term it supports me in making the right decisions daily, for instance, partnering with Waitrose & Partners to offer up to 25% cashback on healthier food options. Exercise is also an essential part of anyone’s wellbeing – and coffee is a non-negotiable part of mine – so nothing is going to get me moving more than a soya cappuccino. When you earn your weekly activity points, Vitality and Caffè Nero reward you with a hot drink (or innocent smoothie). What Vitality has helped me do is get closer to that most elusive of concepts: balance.
