Heidi Klum is revealing her secret tips and tricks for looking and feeling her best
“I love cooking and eating healthy,” Klum, 53, shared in the latestUs Weekly cover story. “And I like that my children are seeing that. I mean, they’ve seen it over the years and some practice it more than others.”
Klum — a mom of four — shared that she and her eldest daughter are similar when it comes to their palate. (Klum welcomed Leni with exFlavio Briatore after she had moved on with Seal, who adopted her daughter. Klum and Seal, who split in 2012, are also the parents of kids Henry, 20, Johan, 19, and Lou, 16. Klum is now married toTom Kaulitz.)
“We always say we have garlic with salad instead of salad with garlic,” she said of Leni. “She’s very much like me in that sense. She just loves healthy things. We don’t love everything overcooked and fried and dead and killed.”
Klum also explained that she stays away from raw foods, sharing that it’s “harder for your body to digest.”
“If you want to have fruit, blanch them in the frying pan with a bit of water,” she said, noting that she believes digestion begins when you take a bite of food. “Chew enough and don’t drink too many fluids while you eat because the stomach acids can’t break it all down.”
Klum shared that she spent time at Lanserhof Lans health spa in Austria
“It’s kind of a very chic hospital, where they feed you, they take your blood and you can do colonoscopies,” she explained. “I mean, it’s like a whole thing where they turn you upside down, inside out. I think it is definitely something worth doing, because you want to make sure your body is in tip top shape and especially when you get older we need to know, is there something that’s missing? Like, what do I need to eat more of?”

Klum shared that she maintains an active lifestyle, noting that she’s “always schlepped my own bags up and down the stairs, and I had four kids so I’ve always been mobile.” Klum also believes that people can get what they neednts
“To me, it doesn’t make sense to eat badly and then shove 50 pills inside of you,” she said. “To me this doesn’t make sense. I think that’s important, bringing it back to the basics and trying to be as natural with everything as you possibly can, I think is the way to go.”
