Cruises used to be considered to be the land of endless chocolate fountains, round-the-clock buffets, and fifteen-pound weight gains—colorful and carefree five–day ‘eating frenzies’ floating on the high seas.

But that’s all about to change, thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, who will oversee wellbeing on a new luxury cruise ship.

The actress-entrepreneur is partnering with Celebrity Cruises to lead the well-being offering on their new luxury ship.

Paltrow confirmed the news via Instagram, posting a throwback picture of herself on the beach looking out to sea.

“I am always happiest by, in or on the sea,” she wrote. “In 2022, my Goop team and I are going to join Celebrity Cruises on their new ship, Celebrity Beyond.

The ship will also feature Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud’s first-ever restaurant at sea, as well as 29 other restaurants, bars, and lounges, plus a rooftop garden and an exclusive members-only area. Its maiden voyage will depart from Southampton on 27 April 2022 before heading off around the Mediterranean.

First of all, I love Gwenyth Paltrow for glamorizing good health. Her Goop tagline “make every choice count” is brilliant. However, I don’t think achieving optimum health should require a black American Express card.

Wouldn’t it be great if this much effort into passenger’s well-being could be available at a more reasonable aka ‘Target’ price point?

Whether or not you’re living with diabetes, a cruise sounds excellent! Unlimited entertainment, plenty of exercise options, like yoga on the deck at sunrise or dancing. You can even enjoy a relaxing massage or walk the ship’s decks with a cool sea breeze blowing through your hair. Ah, the possibilities! 

Living with diabetes doesn’t have to mean living with deprivation. But if you have diabetes, you need to know how foods affect your blood sugar levels. It’s not only the type of food you eat but also how much you eat and the combinations of food types you eat.

For a  lot of people with diabetes, thinking about what you’re going to eat before you eat it is a problem. Most of us what to eat whatever and whenever we want like when we’re children.

Pay attention to the types of carbohydrates you choose.

Some carbohydrates, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are better for you than others. These foods are low in carbohydrates and have fiber that helps keep your blood sugar levels more stable. Talk to your doctor, nurse or dietitian about the best food choices and the appropriate balance of food types.
