Candice Swanepoel insists 'everything is normal and good' when it comes to her health.

To Candice Swanepoel, all the speculation about her increasingly tiny body is much ado about nothing.

Following a promotional appearance Wednesday for Victoria's Secret's new swimwear line, Swanepoel's shrinking waist sparked more interest than the fashion-forward designs.

But the 22-year-old South African doesn't see anything wrong with her seemingly bony arms and skinny legs.

"I am healthy and happy," Swanepoel told the Daily News through her rep. "I'm heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case everything is normal and good."

Still, the Victoria's Secret swimsuit catalog released in January featured the model on its cover with a fuller ? yet still slender ? figure.

Swanepoel has attributed changes to her already slim frame to her work and exercise schedules.

"Stress and a lot of traveling kind of deals with that for me," she said when Hollyscoop.com asked about her diet.

"I work out a lot. I box. I'm obsessed with it," Swanepoel admitted. "It helps a lot with traveling, you know, to be strong and carry on with everything."
