Bella Hadid in Bathing Suit is "Angelic"

Bella Hadid is reminiscing about summer, especially a vacation she took back in July. The 25-year-old model posted a picture of herself relaxing on that trip, wearing a tiny black bathing suit with a white two-piece slip on top. “Angel,” said one admiring commenter. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hadid stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Loves Horseback Riding

Hadid has been riding since she was a little girl, and adores her horse Blue. Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories,” says Dr. Dennis Sigler, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University in College Station. “If you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period.”

2. She Protects Her Inner Self

Hadid makes a point of having a “work” persona that she keeps separate from her real authentic self. “The majority of the time when I meet people, they say, I just didn’t think you were going to be nice, that you were going to be this mean, scary dragon lady, or some kind of a sexbot,” she tells VOGUE. “That’s just not me, and if people have a better understanding of who I am, then I feel less alone within myself.”

3. She Starts Her Day With a Smoothie

Hadid kicks off her mornings by journaling and enjoying a healthy smoothie. “Using a combination of fruit with veggies will help keep the sugar content of your homemade smoothie down,” says registered nutritionist Kerry Torrens. “Lower sugar fruits include berries, fruits with stones such as peaches, apricots and plums, as well as citrus fruits, kiwi and avocado. These may be combined with vegetables including leafy greens like spinach and kale, as well as celery, cucumber and beetroot.”

4. She Loves Middle Eastern Food

Hadid enjoys Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, especially hummus and gyros. “The classic ingredients involved in making a traditional hummus like chickpeas, sesame seeds and olive oil have beneficial properties including being anti-inflammatory,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “In fact, virgin olive oil is said to have an anti-inflammatory action which is on a par with ibuprofen.”

5. She Is Spiritual

Hadid describes herself as deeply spiritual and says she has a deep interest in all religions. “Prayer is a lot like cognitive behavioral therapy,” says Stanford anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann. “It’s a way you attend to your own inner experience, let go of distracting thoughts and focus on more positive thoughts. By expressing gratitude, you shift attention from the way that things are going wrong to the ways they are going right.”

Bella Hadid is going for a sunset swim. In her latest social media post, the statuesque supermodel shows off her gorgeous physique while going for twilight swim in the ocean. In recent years, the model has totally evolved her approach to health, wellness, and self-worth, making lots of changes so she can live her best life ever. Read on to see 5 major ways Bella Hadid has changed her approach to health and wellness and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Incorporated Positive Affirmation Into Her Day

Bella recently revealed to Vogue that she added a feel good ritual to her day: She sends herself positive affirmations nearly every hour using an app called I Am. During her interview she received this one: “I’m dissolving old patterns and letting new patterns emerge.”

2. She Stopped Paying Attention to the Numbers

Bella has a history of disordered eating. In high school a psychiatrist prescribed extended-release Adderall for her inattention, thinking it might simply be ADHD, which suppressed her appetite and eventually led to her anorexia. “I was on this calorie-counting app, which was like the devil to me,” she told Vogue. “I’d pack my little lunch with my three raspberries, my celery stick. I was just trying, I realize now, to feel in control of myself when I felt so out of control of everything else.” She still battles body dysmorphia. “I can barely look in the mirror to this day because of that period in my life.”

3. She Embraced Her Beauty

Bella was just 14 when she underwent plastic surgery, a nose job, which she now regrets. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she told Vogue. “I think I would have grown into it.” Bella maintains she hasn’t done anything to her face since. “People think I fully fucked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right? I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me. Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called—it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book. I’ve had this impostor syndrome where people made me feel like I didn’t deserve any of this. People always have something to say, but what I have to say is, I’ve always been misunderstood in my industry and by the people around me.”

4. She Prioritized Her Mental Health

Bella has been very open about her mental health issues. She suffered “burnout” in 2021 which led her to near-suicide before she opted to get help. She checked into a treatment program in Tennessee for over two weeks and added talk therapy and medication, Wellbutrin, to her holistic regimen. “For so long, I didn’t know what I was crying about. I always felt so lucky, and that would get me even more down on myself. There were people online saying, You live this amazing life. So then how can I complain? I always felt that I didn’t have the right to complain, which meant that I didn’t have the right to get help, which was my first problem,” she told Vogue.

5. She Cut Back on Drinking

Hadid did Dry January for the first time in 2022. "Over the years, I've always found myself reverting to alcohol when I feel low energy, or my anxieties start to come up. I've really scaled back my alcohol consumption this year and have made brain care my ultimate priority,” she told InStyle in a recent interview. "Moderation is everything for me. While I rarely get 'drunk' anymore, I've completely stopped drinking hard alcohol… I have learned what my body can and can't handle. I'm a 'glass of Champagne and head home' kind of girl."

At 25, Bella Hadid is a well-known supermodel and entrepreneur. She also owns social media. Sunday, she posted a photo of herself in a swimsuit top and short shorts, with just a star emoji as a caption. “....& when she’s even more beautiful on the inside,” commented Francesca Aiello.

1. This is Her Daily Workout

She says this is her daily workout. "When time is on my side, I train with my coach for intensive sessions. I run non-stop for 20 minutes followed by a boxing session and finally a series of weights targeting the abs and glutes. We keep the routines varied, so the sessions are always fun,” she told Vogue France.

2. Her Nutritionist Has This Take on Why Food Matters

“For me, wellness is allowing your body to function properly and efficiently. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and physiologically by creating the environment your cells need to be able to easily do their job. Providing them with the energy, environment, and resources that they need to be healthy,” chiropractor and nutritionist Charles Passler, who has reportedly advised Hadid, tells Coveteur. “It’s really about the cells! Think about it: We’re an accumulation of cells. We are taking care [of] our cells and allowing them to function properly by providing them, like I said, with the resources, the environment, the energy they need to get the job done.”

3. Her Nutritionist Says This is How to Eat

“It’s adequate protein, adequate fat, and lots and lots and lots of non-starchy vegetables,” Passler told People. “That is typically the most bulletproof, easiest, soundproof way to make sure that somebody stays on track.” He went on: “If you eat a lot of carbohydrates, with your protein and your fat, the body’s going to use the carbohydrates for fuel first,” he says. “The body loves using carbs for fuel. So the body’s going to soak up all of those carbs, and if then you don’t need any more fuel, the body’s going to just turn the extra calories from the fat and the protein into body fat. So by eliminating the carbohydrates, and consuming the protein and the fat, it not only keeps your calories down, but it keeps your energy stable.”

4. Bella Co-Founded Her Own Drink Brand

Hadid co-founded, with Jen Batchelor, Kin Euphorics, a supplement drink that has different flavors with different effects on your brain (some give energy, some help you sleep). “we are the first braincare beverage & the first drink to sit boldly at the intersection of feeling good & living well. science + magic,” she has said. “No matter who you are, or what you do, Kin is for you. Kin is for the busy, multi-tasker. Kin is for the chiller. The artist. The writer. The wall street business hu-man, the college student, the mother, the stay at home father, the creatives, the hard worker of any form. People universally will benefit from Kin. Once you try it, you just know. Whether you are sober, trying to cut down, or just want something to mix with, Kin will be the first to bring brain care to the bar.”

5. She Has Had Anxiety and Dealt With It

“As many of you know, I have suffered from extreme depression and anxiety for most of my teenage and adult life,” Hadid wrote once. “Since I was 14, I had tried everything to help myself feel better. After years of social drinking at work event after work event, along with suffering from different immune problems as well, my body started to tell me ‘NO’. I wasn’t able to go out anymore with the work schedule I had. My social anxiety was something that slowly crept up on me as I grew into my twenties. It got harder for me to go out without having one drink to calm my nerves, which made me not want to go out at all, so I was just hibernating between jobs. With a life that is constantly pushing a social regime, along with working 13 hour days, every single day, I knew this wasn’t a sustainable life for me. So I searched and scoured for anything holistic that would help with my chronic exhaustion, depression and anxiety. Asking myself and the universe that maybe since I had been so lucky in other aspects of my life, that this low vibration was just where I would have to stay. Until the universe brought me to Jen and KIN!”

Bella Hadid is kicking off 2023 in her swimsuit. The supermodel flaunts her famous figure in one of her latest social media posts, modeling a bathing suit while in the tropics. “Happy néw year my sweets… i pray only the best for you,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos.

1. She Fuels Up Before and After Workouts

Bella fuels up for fitness. "I count on a smoothie, a juice, or a protein drink 30 minutes before the session. After the session, I eat something full of protein like chicken and wholegrain rice. It's ideal to strengthen the muscle mass and to increase the effects of the session," she told French Vogue.

2. She Rides Horses

Bella is an experienced equestrian. She told ID in an interview that riding is not just good for her body but also her mind. “My earliest memory of happiness, like I remember just my heart always being with my horses and that was always like my, my first memory ever was just me getting on a horse for the first time,” she said.

3. She Has a Few Guilty Pleasures

Bella eats healthy most of the time, but has a few indulgences. “My favorite go-to snack, I eat pizza, at least once a day. It's always like a go-to cuz it always, you know, it tastes good every time,” told ID. “There's no bad pizza. Also seaweed snacks randomly. Oh, sour Patch Kids and Rose Champagne if i’m feeling frisky.”

4. She Snowboards

Bella is an avid snowboarder. She recently shared some photos of herself drinking her energy drink, Kin Euphorics, while on the mountain.

5. She Is Working On Self-Love and Acceptance

Bella confessed to ID that she prioritizes self-love. “I guess what I would try to let go of is like taking myself too seriously. I'm a lot better at it now, but I think that life is so much more than perfectionism and living up to other people's standards of yourself. And I guess for me, I just want my standards of me to be my own standards and to stop feeling like I have to live up to other people's expectations. A very, very, very wise man once said, freedom is the absence of fear. And I really truly believe that. I think that if you erase fear from yourself, you can have freedom within your own heart, which means that you can have freedom in the world that you live in and allow others to have freedom as well. Because once you feel freedom, you can understand freedom and then you can allow freedom,” she said.
