When bikini season comes close, Macpherson says that she likes to make a few changes to her diet. She tells Harper’s Bazaar, “Coming up for summer what I try to cut out is wheat and sugar.

Macpherson's typical day involves drinking a lot of fluids. She tells Harper’s Bazaar, “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 a 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.”

7. She Loves Raw Food

Macpherson is a big fan of incorporating raw food, like veggies and quinoa, into her meals. “I like raw foods, so lunch is usually raw or lightly blanched vegetables and dinner is a salad or something like humus, tabbouleh or nut dips with dehydrated seed bread,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar. “Today I had a super bowl with quinoa, beets, goats cheese, sweet potato and rocket with olive oil and it was fabulous, I felt completely nourished.”
