KEEP MOVING
You don’t need to spend hours
on the treadmill in order to get
your heart rate up. The actress and her
husband, former NBA star Dwyane
Wade, 37 (below), “like to walk through
our neighborhood,” she’s said. “Every
little thing helps — being sedentary is
not your friend. Just work in little bits if
you can’t get to the gym.”7
EAT CLEAN
To maintain her flawless figure,
the actress usually goes healthy at
meal time, noshing on lean cuts of meat
and fish and “a lot of leafy greens,”
including lettuce, spinach, kale and
Swiss chard.8
DON’T DEPRIVE YOURSELF
Nothing’s wrong with a little
splurge! “If I want cupcakes,
cookies or a short stack, I don’t deny
myself,” said Gabrielle. But “I do try to
cut down on the actual portion.”9

CLEAR YOUR HEAD
The star’s a big believer in
self-care — and that means
carving out some time to relax and
reflect. “I appreciate silence,” explained
Gabrielle, who likes to unwind by
cracking open a good book and “just
[getting] a chapter in.” She’s also a fan
of the “Affirmation Pod” by Josie Ong,
a podcast dedicated to self-love and
personal development.11

REST UP!
“My best antiaging tip is
the ability to say no. We run
ourselves ragged saying yes to every
freaking thing,” Gabrielle’s explained.
“I sleep eight hours a day and don’t
let myself stress out [about it]. A lot of
people call it selfish, but I don’t have any
wrinkles.” Touché!6
PLAN AHEAD
Anticipate a snack attack! When
Gabrielle leaves her house, she
likes to “pack healthy foods” in her
bag, like a banana, hard-boiled eggs or
protein bars, “so I don’t totally go off my
regimen.”INSTAGRAM/@GABUNION,
