Elle Macpherson priorities health over looks

Supermodel Elle Macpherson says turning 50 has made her realise health is more important than looking attractive.

The supermodel celebrated her landmark birthday in March.

"I think as a woman, when you get to 50 you have to make a bit more effort. Being well, being fit and being healthy from the inside out is really important. Obviously, great lighting and good make-up team helps," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

"For me, it's really about the way I feel, not so much the way I look anymore. And if I'm feeling good, I'm feeling strong and I'm feeling vibrant then I tend to look better," she added.
