Even Gisèle Bundchen, today a model of self-discipline and conscious nutrition, did not always lead a healthy life.

In an interview with British Vogue, the model revealed that she drowned panic attacks in alcohol in the early years of her career.

She started her days with coffee and cigarettes, and in the evening she emptied a bottle of wine.

"From the outside it looked like I had it all, even though I was only 22 years old.

Deep down, I felt like I was at rock bottom," Bummel recalled of the first important shows, parties and her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio.

A friend finally recommended that the Brazilian should seek advice from a naturopath.

He banned Bundchen caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, sugar and dairy products.

At that time, the forty-one-year-old changed her diet to vegetables, nuts and lean meat.

“The decision was easy.

The naturopath asked whether I wanted to continue living or not," said Bundchen.

Today, healthy eating doesn't stop at the model's family.

Bundchen's husband, football player Tom Brady, and their children Benjamin and Vivian mostly eat vegetables, whole grains and low-fat meat.
