Gisele Bundchen wants to live as long as she can after watching her parents battle health issues.
The Brazilian supermodel, 43, who has transformed herself into a wellness guru and cookbook author, said she agrees that all the money in the world can’t buy health.
The star – who is reportedly worth $400M – made the admission in a cover interview for the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in which her interviewer said the sight of her parents grapple with health issues as they’ve gotten older has been a factor in her campaigning for healthy eating.
Gisele, who has children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 with her former NFL star ex-husband Tom Brady, 46, said: ‘I want to live the longest feeling the best that I can, but for me to achieve this, I have to make decisions today.
‘You can have all the money in the world. If you don’t have your health, it’s not possible to buy it back.’

Gisele moved to Boston and scaled back her runway and campaign work following her marriage in 2009 to then New England Patriots quarterback Tom.
But is now back in the spotlight as she is about to publish her latest cookbook ‘Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul’.
Co-written with veteran cookbook author Elinor Hutton, it is aimed at people with families who want to add more nutritious meals to their weeks.
Gisele now eats as little meat as she can, and said: ‘I can offer some things I’ve learned and that have helped me and my family,’ she tells me. ‘I’m just a mom who has a very busy life, and I think a lot of women can relate to that.’
Along with healthy eating, Gisele’s daily routine usually starts at 5am when she walks her dogs, followed by meditation.

Also this month she has helped create a smoothie for trendy organic market Erewhon.
The price on the drink is an eye-watering $19, which is much more than the hourly minimum wage in the US.
Many comments were positive like this one: ‘So excited for the debut of the Giselderberry Boost Smoothie! Thank you so much for highlighting the power of organic ingredients!’
And this: ‘Always wonderful! Thanks for sharing this with us. ✨I already want to try it!!!’
Some felt it was – literally – out of reach: ‘I wish I could try. I live in the Midwest.’
Most of Erewhon’s smoothies (which can have ice cream added) hover around 700 calories but the company does not list the calorie count on their website.
The drink includes collage, which improves skin health, and elderberry, which is taken as a supplement to treat cold and flu symptoms.

Gisele said: ‘Giselderberry Boost Smoothie is now available at @erewhonmarket!
‘It’s delicious and nutritious! Hope you like it! The ingredients: @gaiaherbs certified Organic Black Elderberry Syrup + Gaia Herbs Elderberry glaze.’
There was no mention of how much sugar was in it.
To be fair, most of Erewhon’s celebrity backed smoothies are around this price because all of the ingredients are organic.
When Hailey Bieber introduced a smoothie it was $18. And when Kourtney Kardashian did it, it was $17.
The beverage really is healthy and contains collagen which is youth-boosting.
The ex-wife of Tom Brady partnered with Gaia Herbs for the drink. She is their ‘Wellness Ambassador.’
It is called the Giselderberry Boost Smoothie featuring Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup.
Elderberry is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world. It is most often taken as a supplement to treat cold and flu symptoms.

Gisele debuted the exclusive smoothie at the Culver City Erewhon on January 11.
The 43-year-old supermodel and wellness enthusiast — who stars in Frame’s latest campaign — looked smart in a dark gray blazer layered over a gray sweater.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel rolled up the sleeves of her jacket and teamed the look with a pair of blue jeans.
Her outfit was rounded out with a pair of simple white sneakers and she looked typically stunning in a face of peach-toned makeup.
The Brazilian beauty wore her long hair down.
It is now available for purchase at all Erewhon locations, via the Erewhon app, and through UBER.
A portion of proceeds will go to Rodale Institute, which is a global nonprofit dedicated to growing the regenerative organic agriculture movement through rigorous research, farmer training, and education.
The ingredients are: Coconut Milk, Coconut Meat, Banana, Açaí, Dates, Almond butter, Lucuma, Unflavored plant protein and Vanilla collagen.
