Former supermodel Elle Macpherson says she was prompted to change her lifestyle after she suffered a "health scare".
Macpherson, 52, is launching her own food supplement line and says it is inspired by her own experience that made her realise she needed to eat, drink and rest better, reported Femalefirst.
"I had a health scare. In the end it was harmless, but I was very scared. Until then I hadn't understood how long trips, time shifts, stress, sleep loss and unbalanced nutrition could affect my health. I still thought I was living in the 1980s. My body sent me a signal and I changed the way I was living," Macpherson said.
"As I got closer to 50 I realised that to stay healthy you need to do more than slap on the face cream. You need to combat the acidity in your body that causes many illnesses, balance the pH in your body and nourish its internal cells.
"A nutritionist designed an alkaline regime for me ... I slept more and drank more water and I added fruit and vegetables to my diet. Several weeks later I felt different.
