Elle Macpherson celebrated her breakthrough as a model 40 years ago. But she still knows how to draw attention to herself, for example with one of her most recent Instagram posts. She also explains how she still earns her nickname “The Body”.
In the 80s, Elle Macpherson was given the nickname “The Body” – and that still applies to the 58-year-old today. In a new Instagram post, she is now lolling in a micro bikini panty and a short wool sweater on a wall.
In the caption and an accompanying interview, she explains what is most important to her in life: Mindfulness: “Breathing exercises and meditation I take care of my mind, body and spirit every day,” says Macpherson.
She would meditate for 25 minutes every morning, she goes on to explain. “I try to live my life in a constant flow of meditative connection, rather than just at specific times,” the former supermodel said.
Macpherson shared other lifestyle secrets with Body and Soul magazine. Accordingly, yoga or a four-minute workout by Zach Bush is also on their program in the morning. Before that she drinks water with lime juice, then a matcha.
In the evening she ends the day in her infrared sauna, which is followed by a cold shower. “This is great for detoxification, immune boosting, lymphatic support and relaxation,” enthuses Macpherson. After that there is a certain sleeping tea. In bed, the model also performs a small ritual: “I put my hands on my solar plexus, think about what I’m grateful for that day and drift into peaceful sleep.”
Macpherson, who is vegan, also comments on her diet. Accordingly, she only shops at the weekly market, her favorite food is a miso mushroom soup with Japanese sweet potatoes according to a recipe by Dr. Sarah Siso.
Surprisingly, when it comes to exercise, “The Body” doesn’t have a strict training schedule. “I choose activities that get me outdoors, as close to nature as possible – hiking, biking, swimming or just sitting outside in the sunshine. I don’t have a plan – I go with the flow, but I go.”
