How does Victoria approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.
1. Mediterranean Diet
Victoria sticks to one of the most popular diets in the world. “First of all I love to eat. I am not your green juices 24/7 kind of girl,” she told Arabian Moda. “I must have a dessert everyday and especially chocolate. And what is a night like without a glass of wine? However, I try to avoid eating carbs and especially before a photo-shoot. I also try to limit my amount of red meat intake. I guess you can describe my diet as a Mediterranean, wholesome and vegetable-based diet.”
2. Supplements
Victoria makes sure to get all the nutrients she needs with the help of supplements. “So many people ask me how I stay healthy and in shape…my secret is taking this cell-enhancing anti-again total balance women’s Premium for 10 years,” she revealed in a recent Instagram post.
3. Exercise
Victoria is all about exercise. “I love working out outdoors like doing some yoga and pilates every now and then. I prefer to go running outside rather than to workout at the gym,” she confessed to Arabian Moda. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Victoria understands the importance of rest. "Good sleep is the best,” she told Fans Share. “Also when I wake up I drink a glass of warm water with squeezed lemon and a little later I eat a good breakfast of fruit, yogurt, muesli,” she added. According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
5. Skiing
Victoria loves skiing! “Thankful for this amazing fun ski weekend in Courchevel under the sun,” she captioned this post with photos of her ski trip. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
6. Bike Rides
Victoria gets her cardio in with the help of biking. During a recent trip to Miami she went for a bike ride on the boardwalk. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
