People can ask Alexa to:
• Give me a recipe: If you're in need of some #foodspiration, simply ask Alexa for a breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert recipe.
• Give me a healthy living tip: If it's a #healthylifestyle you're after, then these healthy eating, activity and positive wellbeing tips might nudge you in the right direction, one tip at a time.

Nick Read, Commercial Director at Vitality, said: “We’re delighted to be teaming up with Amazon, one of the world’s most innovative brands, to help people improve their health and wellbeing. Implementing healthy habits at home can be challenging for some, so the launch of Vitality Alexa Skill is a great way to provide that little nudge to encourage healthy behaviour in an environment where people feel most comfortable.”
“The new Vitality skill offers a great way to get healthy hints and tips whenever you need them, using only your voice,” said Fabrice Rousseau, Director, Alexa Skills EU. “Just by asking Alexa, customers can get recipes, healthy eating tips, workout suggestions, and more—it’s a great example of how useful Alexa can be in your everyday life.”
