Read on to see 5 ways Gisele Bundchen stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Eats Healthy
Bundchen shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Vogue. She says that she makes sure to eat a healthy diet. “I think we are what we eat,” Bundchen said. “And that food should be our medicine. It is very important to drink plenty of water and eat food that comes from the earth, like fruits and vegetables, rather than processed food. All of this is reflected directly on the skin.”
2. She Does Breathing Exercises

Bundchen likes to do breathing exercises. She shared one of her favorites in her Vogue interview. “There is one breathing exercise that I did a lot of when I was prone to panic attacks that still helps me refocus today: alternate breathing. You just have to inhale, block the right nostril to hold your breath for a few moments and then exhale from the left nostril. Then, the same with the left nostril. You can continue the exercise for 1, 5, or 10 minutes depending on the time you have available, as soon as a need for calm is felt.”
3. She Takes Care Of Her Skin
Bundchen has amazing skin, and she shared some of her tips in an interview with Vogue. “I always remove makeup with organic coconut oil (the same one I use for cooking) because it is, in my opinion, the easiest way to remove all traces of makeup. I put it all-over on my face, remove it with a cotton ball and then rinse it all off with lukewarm water. Then I intensely nourish my skin with a good moisturizer, before applying makeup. This is the secret to making it healthier and smoother. And of course, drink lots of water!”
4. She Stays Hydrated
Bundchen shared some more of her habits for healthy skin with Vogue. She says that she makes sure to stay hydrated. “Water is your best ally to have beautiful skin, so you need to drink plenty of it,” Bundchen said. “I also rely on electrolytes, which help better absorb water and increase hydration tenfold. I take a drink with a lemon flavor which is a very good bonus.”
5. She’s Consistent
Bundchen makes her skincare a priority in her life. She tells Allure that she makes sure to stay consistent with skincare. "Taking care of your skin is a lifelong practice. I have learned that in order to have healthy skin later in life, you have to make skin care a priority when you are young. Everyone's skin is unique, so you need to find high-quality products and a daily skin-care routine that works for you."
