Elle “The Body” Macpherson in Bikini Is “ICONIC”
Elle Macpherson is modeling hats at 61 and in a bikini. In a new social media post, the supermodel, who earned the nickname “The Body” flaunts her famous figure in a white bikini top while modeling BxmBxm hats. “ICONIC,” commented one person. “The best,” added another. How does the Aussie beauty look half her age? Here are her top diet and fitness tips for longevity.
Have a Balanced Approach to Wellness
Elle recommends having a balanced approach to wellness. “I believe in maintenance, I’m not a big binge and purge person,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I think it’s really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you’re running a business and you’ve got kids and a full life. It’s easy – I just make good choices and I enjoy the choices that I make.”
Eat Clean
Elle recommends clean eating. She follows the alkaline diet, fueling her body with veggies. “I really enjoy a plant-based diet, I love vegetables,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “If I’m really in my groove, I love a raw, plant-based diet,” she added to New Beauty. “That’s how I feel best. I eat grains, nuts, seeds, beans, vegetables, almond milk, hemp milk, chia seeds. I make my own granola in a dehydrator. Avocado, salads, juicing—you know, beautiful, whole, natural foods. As far as animal products are concerned, I’ll have a poached egg every now and then, some Parmesan cheese and goat cheese, but they’re not staples of my diet.”
Cut Out Wheat and Sugar
If you want a hot bikini body in the summer, you must cut out certain foods. “Coming up for summer what I try to cut out is wheat and sugar. If you love bread and butter, that would be what I’d give up for the summer. For me it’s a ‘fine tune’ more than anything else,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
Drink Hot Water and Lemon
Elle recommends a certain lemon water elixir. “The first thing I have is hot water and lemon when I wake up, then my Super Elixir greens and a matcha tea. Sometimes I have cap-full of apple cider vinegar in water if I’m feeling like I’m inflamed. I drink three litres of water a day and my Sleep Welle Tea at night,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
Take Supplements
If you aren’t getting the nutrients you need, take supplements. Elle swears by one that helps keep her sugar cravings away. “Since I’ve been taking the Super Elixir I don’t crave sugar anymore and so when I have cheap sugar now I just don’t like the taste. Sugar is addictive but breaking that addiction only takes about three days. Do a week of taking the Super Elixir greens and then try to give up sugar, it’s usually pretty successful, she told Harper’s Bazaar.
Exercise
Finally, make sure to exercise. “I do sports like water skiing, running, cycling, swimming laps, snow skiing if it’s winter, walking the dogs – I just love to be outdoors,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “If I’m lucky enough to be by the sea, I think walking in seawater is one of the best things I can do for my body. It tones the legs and the waist, it’s great for minerals, and if you have any water retention, it’s a great diuretic. I walk in about thigh-deep or knee-deep water for 40 minutes to an hour,” she added to New Beauty.
