In another bite of inspiration, the model previously cited clean eating – including pureed meals featuring baby food from the company she co-founded, Yummy Spoonfuls – as an easy way to feel great.

"Around awards season, I was feeling really bloated, so I called a friend who's a nutritionist, Rachel Beller, and I asked her what I could do," Alves told Delish in 2016 of incorporating purees into her diet. "I think the big thing, really, is listening to what your body tells you."
