In her early 20s, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen worked 350 days a year. She drank Frappuccinos for breakfast, smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, and downed a bottle of wine every night. Needless to say, that lifestyle became unsustainable. In the mid-aughts, Bündchen pursued the more natural path she’s now known for: meditation, exercise, healthy eating. Newly divorced from Tom Brady and now based in Miami, Bündchen is as steadfast in holistic wellness as ever. For both models and mortals, she’s sharing 100 healthy recipes in her cookbook, Nourish. Called around the world for runways and photo shoots, Bündchen spends much of her time on planes. Here, she details how she lives well at cruising altitude.
