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.”
