Jovovich, 39, said there are no better role models for the simple lifestyle than mothers in third-world countries, reported People magazine.
"I feel that the connection with children and mothers is so strong in places where there are not so many 'things' to get in the way.
"No electronic distraction devices, no high-tech baby equipment, just a mother carrying her little one everywhere, sharing a family bed and having the help of all the other women around to raise the baby," she said.
"Everyone has their cubicle at home, babies go into nurseries, little kids have their own rooms. You are so separated from one another!," she added.
