Gisele’s Diet Tips for Staying Young and Healthy

Gisele Bundchen has revealed the nine life-changing ingredients that ‘nourish’ her body and help her retain her healthy, youthful appearance.

The 43-year-old supermodel recently gave a fans a glimpse into her eating habits by publishing her bestselling cookbook Nourish in March.

Now the ex-wife of Tom Brady has treated her admirers to an Instagram post detailing her ‘favorite herbs and spices’ that help her stay in fine fettle.

‘I truly believe in the ancient saying: “Let food be thy medicine,” as I felt a big difference in my life when I started making better food choices,’ she explained.

Writing in both English and her native Portuguese, the Brazilian bombshell divulged her list of specific garnishes that she swears by.

She uses ginger to ‘help digestion’ and for its ‘anti-inflammatory’ properties, as well as parsley, which she wrote ‘contains antioxidants and promotes good breath.’

Gisele is also fond of rosemary because it ‘stimulates’ her immune system and helps her ‘improve digestion,’ she added.

Turmeric is another one of her preferred ingredients, owing to its anti-inflammatory benefits and because she regards it as a boost to her heart health.

She wrote that basil is ‘good for the heart’ as well as ‘antioxidant’ and ‘antibacterial,’ adding that black pepper ‘helps the absorption of nutrients.’

Gisele enjoys cilantro for its ‘detoxification’ and ability to ‘lower blood sugar,’ and hailed oregano for being ‘antimicrobial’ and ‘antioxidant.’

She rounded off her ingredient list by extolling the virtues of cinnamon, which she vaunted for its ability to ‘improve circulation.’ 

‘Food is one of the most powerful tools we have to help boost our immune system. I truly believe in the ancient saying: “Let food be thy medicine,” as I felt a big difference in my life when I started making better food choices,’ she wrote.

‘When we eat foods that are alive (and not processed), their nutrients and vitamins nourish our bodies helping us to stay healthy and feeling good.’

Gisele is currently involved with her steamy jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente – but has staunchly denied she cheated on Tom with him.

‘This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,’ she told the New York Times while doing publicity for her cookbook. ‘Of course, for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.’

While promoting Nourish, Gisele went viral for breaking down in tears while being interviewed about her divorce from Tom, whom she left in October 2022.   

Shortly before the interview went online, a source told DailyMail.com Tom has ‘accepted’ Gisele’s romance with Joaquim – despite the fact he believes they have been together for ‘years’ now. 

Previous reports indicated Gisele and Joaquim have only been together since June 2023, but the insider revealed Tom feels otherwise.

‘If she wants to have people think she has been dating Joaquim only since June, so be it, but they have been together longer and they aren’t taking it slow,’ the source alleged, adding however that ‘Tom has accepted it.’ 

The insider said further: ‘Tom and Joaquim are not friends – but Joaquim is around his kids, so Tom has to find the good in him and does believe he is a good guy. If Joaquim ever becomes a father figure to his kids, Tom will be able to adapt.’

Although Gisele and Joaquim were the subject of romance rumors for several months, they only went public with their relationship on Valentine’s Day, when they were spotted passionately kissing near her home in Miami. 

Before then, they were seen spending a considerable amount of time in each other’s company, including on getaways to Costa Rica.

When they were first linked in November 2022, some of Gisele’s pals staunchly denied she was dating Joaquim, insisting the pair were just friends.

‘He’s been her kids’ jiu-jitsu teacher for years,’ one insider told DailyMail.com. ‘There’s no truth to the rumors that they’re dating.’ 

Gisele initially adopted a dismissive attitude to the rumors, telling the April 2023 issue of Vanity Fair: ‘I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.’ 

She and Tom tied the knot in February 2009 and welcomed two children into the world together – Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. 

The power couple announced their divorce in October 2022 after a swirl of reports that their marriage was on the verge of collapse.

Gisele was claimed to be livid over Tom’s shock decision to ‘un-retire’ from the NFL – just one month after he gave up football to spend more time with his family. 

‘Obviously, I have my concerns – this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again,’ she told Elle shortly before their split went public.

‘But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too,’ Gisele added.

Tom initially announced his departure from the NFL during the 2022 off-season – only to perform a dizzying volte face and return to pro football a month later.

He officially retired again at the beginning of last year after his marriage collapsed, and he has remained out of pro football since.
