Fitness and bodybuilding is not just about working out and completing your protein intake. There is a lot more to it than just training and eating. Apart from taking proper rest, one needs to take care of other habits as well and ensure that they stay away from any harmful substances that can prove to be a threat to our health. Realizing this Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen made a shocking confession about her lifestyle. 

After Bündchen recently teamed up with herbal supplement line Gaia Herbs, she explained in a panel celebrating the partnership about her fitness and wellness routine. Amidst many other things that she stated, she also revealed a secret of her lifestyle that might come as a shock to many. 

Gisele Bündchen’s applaudable discipline

Being the highest-paid model in the world, Bündchen recently bought a mansion in Florida for a whopping $9.1 Million. In the surprising confession that she made recently, she revealed that meditation acts as a coping mechanism for her that helped her fight mental battles back in her teenage years. “In my early 20s I had severe panic attacks and depression,” she recalled. In order to ensure that this stays in control, she decided to quit smoking and consuming alcohol.

“I meditate everyday, I exercise every day,” she said. “I wasn’t so good in my 20s or my teens, I realized my body is my temple and I really want to enjoy it. So for me, moving my body is huge,” Bündchen stated. Continuing further, she disclosed, “I haven’t drank alcohol in over two years and it’s amazing how much more clear [I feel].”

Giving a little insight about her fitness journey, she admitted, “Instead of waking up with two cigarettes and a mocha frappuccino with whipped cream, I would wake up and go for a jog and come back and do an hour of breath work and yoga. Everything changed.”
