Carol Alt said a 1996 switch to a raw-food diet pulled her back from feeling "on the verge of death" after years of exhaustion, headaches, sinus trouble and digestive problems.
The 65-year-old model told Kim Alexis she had been running on coffee, sugar, Scotch and processed foods while traveling constantly, leaving her malnourished and dependent on frequent eating.
Dr. Timothy Brantley urged her to cut heavily processed foods and focus on raw fruits, vegetables and other minimally processed ingredients; Alt said the change gradually restored her energy and strength.
Alt, who appeared in six Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues from 1981 to 1989, has since written books promoting natural foods and says she wants to be remembered for helping people live better.
