Read on to see 6 of Victoria Silvstedt's top tricks for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

Victoria makes smart choices when it comes to food. "First of all I love to eat. I am not your green juices 24/7 kind of girl," she told Arabian Moda. "I must have a dessert everyday and especially chocolate. And what is a night like without a glass of wine? However, I try to avoid eating carbs and especially before a photo-shoot. I also try to limit my amount of red meat intake. I guess you can describe my diet as a Mediterranean, wholesome and vegetable-based diet."

Victoria swears that one of her secrets to longevity is by taking a certain supplement. "So many people ask me how I stay healthy and in shape…my secret is taking this cell-enhancing anti-again total balance women's Premium for 10 years," she revealed in a recent Instagram post. 

If you want a body like Victoria's, you are going to have to work out for it. "I love working out outdoors like doing some yoga and pilates every now and then. I prefer to go running outside rather than to workout at the gym," she confessed to Arabian Moda. 

Another one of Victoria's beauty secrets? "Good sleep is the best," she told Fans Share. "Also when I wake up I drink a glass of warm water with squeezed lemon and a little later I eat a good breakfast of fruit, yogurt, muesli," she added. 

One of Victoria's favorite calorie blasting activities? Skiing! "Thankful for this amazing fun ski weekend in Courchevel under the sun," she captioned this post with photos of her ski trip. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines. 

Even when she is on vacation, Victoria gets her cardio in. In a recent photo from Miami she rides a bike on the boardwalk. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
