1. She Made Little Changes

Mecklenburgh shared some of her wellness secrets and tips in an interview with Express. She says that she believes in making little changes to her routine. “Change one thing at a time, don’t overwhelm yourself,” she advises. “For me, it wasn’t a massive weight loss journey but I did lose a bit of weight and toned up and felt fitter and healthier as a result.”

2. She Eats Breakfast

In order to help herself get healthier, Mecklenburgh worked with trainer Cecilia Harris. She tells Express that Harris helped her with her diet. “Cecilia told me to eat breakfast, so that was a huge part for me,” she says. “That little change made such a difference to my life. I had an omelette every morning and that automatically stopped my tea and biscuits at 11 o’clock.

3. She Believes In The 80/20 Rule

Mecklenburgh makes sure to eat healthy, but she also still indulges. She tells Your Healthy Living that she uses the 80/20 rule. “When it comes to my own diet, I try to live by the 80:20 rule. So, from Monday to Friday I’m quite strict. I don’t have any fast food or processed food. I’ll have a veggie omelette for breakfast, for lunch I might have a chicken salad and maybe I’ll have a Thai green curry for dinner. I make everything from scratch and I make sure that I have plenty of vegetables. At the weekend I’m very chilled out. I love food and I think it’s there to be enjoyed. If I fancy a pizza or a bowl of pasta then I’ll have it. That’s what works for me – being strict during the week and a bit more relaxed at the weekend.

4. She Cooks Meals Without Dairy

Mecklenburgh likes to cook healthy meals. She tells Your Healthy Living that she cooks a lot of dairy-free meals. “I do enjoy cooking but I have around a 30-minute limit and then I get bored,” she says. “One of my favourite recipes to make is a dairy-free chicken and mushroom pie. I can’t really have too much milk, and I always used to find that a lot of recipes always had cream in. So I invented a recipe with coconut milk and filo pastry, and it’s absolutely amazing served with lots of green veg.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Mecklenburgh tells Your Healthy Living that she does a variety of things to stay in shape. “I tend to work out around five times a week and I’ll do anything from 20 minutes to an hour. It’s usually HIIT-based training, with a bit of weight training, Pilates and barre. I would love to enjoy yoga but me and yoga have a bit of a love–hate relationship. I’m not very good at relaxing – it’s one of my weaknesses. I find that a lot of people either love Pilates or yoga and I’m very much more a fan of Pilates.”

1. She Recently Went to a Health Resort

After an ankle injury, Elizabeth went to the Viva Mayr Medical Health Resort by Lake Wörthersee. “I tore the ligaments in my left ankle whilst filming in the Caribbean in November. Lying on the sofa for two months, followed by a month of limping around in an air boot, meant that I basically became a slug,” she captioned some photos. “I don’t weigh myself but my jeans were objecting violently to being done up so something had to be done…Still not really able to put much pressure on my foot, meaning not much exercise, and a new movie looming, I decided to return to @vivamayrmariawoerth – a wellness spa in Austria. I’m here now and shall report back! ❤️”

2. She Ate Clean Veggies

“I think I’m glad to be here,” Hurley captioned an image of the food at the Viva Mayr Medical Health Resort, which appeared to be some cleanly steamed broccoli and carrots and a broth. “Besides being a good source of folate, broccoli also contains phytonutrients. Broccoli is also an excellent source of vitamin C — an antioxidant that protects your body's cells from damage. It is also an excellent source of vitamin A and is linked to preserving eye health,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Tries to Eat Local

Elizabeth prefers local foods when at home. "Using local foods inspires me to prepare healthy, plant-based meals. I also feel good about supporting people in our community who make their living on the land. It's a win-win,” Jennifer Nelson, RDN, LD, tells the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Prefers Housework to the Gym

Hurley would rather work up a sweat scrubbing a mirror or raking leaves than be stuck in some windowless gym. Chores actually can count as a workout. “Housework can do double duty if you can get your heart rate up. Mowing, shoveling and gardening count too,” says the Mayo Clinic. Or walk. “Stroll around your neighborhood or through the mall. Park at the back of the parking lot. Choose the stairs.”

5. She is in the Fight to End Breast Cancer

“When my grandmother lost her life to breast cancer in the early 90’s, nobody spoke openly about this disease. Times have changed, but people are still dying. Today, our call to help end breast cancer for all is more urgent than ever as breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide,” Elizabeth once wrote. “Whether you’re a patient, family or friend, thriver, doctor, or advocate, I hope you’ll join me in helping fund lifesaving breast cancer research…”

4. She Benefits From the Sun

“Sometimes a little bit of sunshine is the best medicine. A walk in the park or a bike ride probably puts you in a good mood, and a moderate amount of sun is also good for your physical health. While you’re outside soaking up rays, your body is busy making vitamin D. That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

5. She Loves the Beach

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.
