Gisele Bündchen cycles through Rio with husband, promotes coconut‑oil diet

On Sunday, 26 July, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 46, rode a bicycle along the Copacabana promenade in Rio de Janeiro together with her husband, Brazilian instructor Joaquim Valente. The couple kept a low profile, wearing simple outfits, and were photographed by onlookers.

Bündchen marked the outing with an Instagram post thanking followers and reflecting on her new life chapter after returning to Brazil, where she was born. She has often spoken about her health routine, noting that she prefers cooking with coconut oil rather than olive oil. Nutritionist Juliana Andrade explained that coconut oil contains medium‑chain triglycerides that the body quickly converts to energy, but warned of its high saturated‑fat content and the need for moderation.
