Ambrosio is a big fan of avocado toast for breakfast, and sometimes includes eggs and a green juice. “Avocados are high in fat with 60 percent of this being monounsaturated fats, which research suggests helps to protect against heart disease and lower blood pressure,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fiber, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.”

2. She Enjoys Salad and Protein

Ambrosio likes a big salad for lunch, with chicken or fish as the added protein. She also keeps nuts or a protein bar in her purse in case of a snack emergency. “New research suggests that eating plenty of nitrate-rich vegetables — such as lettuce, spinach, and beets — may lower your risk of dying of a stroke or heart attack,” says Harvard Health.

3. She Loves Hiking and Volleyball

“I would say [I work out] an hour to an hour and a half a day,” Ambrosio says. “It all depends on what I'm doing that day. If I’m going on a hike or playing volleyball with my friends it might be longer but I don’t usually spend more than an hour and a half in the gym. I love to do different classes and lately I have been doing Tracy Anderson Method because it’s fun and it feels more like a dance class than a work-out. But, at the same time, it’s great exercise as it targets all muscle groups.”

4. She Drinks Lots Of Green Tea

Ambrosio drinks green tea throughout the day, which experts say has incredible health benefits. “Green tea contains a number of natural stimulants, including caffeine, which although not as high as coffee, may still help maintain alertness and focus,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “In addition to this, green tea is a source of the amino acid L-theanine, which has a relaxing effect; it does this by increasing mood-enhancing brain chemicals including GABA, dopamine and serotonin. The beneficial polyphenols of green tea may also help slow the effects of aging on the brain.”

5. She Loves the Beach

Ambrosio is a big fan of the beach—both for relaxing and for getting active. “Whenever I’m in Los Angeles, I like to go to Malibu—I’ll get together with my friends and play volleyball,” she tells VOGUE. “I always bring coconut water, nuts, and kale chips. For my kids, it’s sunblock, sunblock, and sunblock. They go in and out of the water the whole day, so I make sure to reapply SPF 50 as much as possible. Make sure to moisturize and hydrate while you’re at the beach, so when you are ready to go to dinner, you can just add some tinted moisturizer.”

Just try to be as healthy as we can and out that's that's it, you know?” she told E! once.

You just gotta put your mind [to it] and work out really hard, extra hard, that's what I did after my kids. It's always hard when you have too diet and work out. Just put your mind to it. And that's it.”

“I do one day of yoga or hike,” she has said. “Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration,” explains Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California.

4. Hiking is Great For You

“Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Uses Hair Oil

Alessandra likes Marajó hair products. “It's from Brazil and has like a new miracle oil. And I just love it. I've been using and my hair feels like super shiny and healthy. When I met them, they wanted to come up with something that wasn't in the market that—they asked me like all these questions about Brazil and they went and found in the island of Marajó, which is this island in the Amazon. They found this amazing oil. And they asked me to try it. And I've been trying for like a year now and I loved it. love this smell. I love the way it feels. And it works in everyone's like every women's hair, everyone's hair actually.”
