Her passion for the performing arts and fitness has given her the confidence that truly shows whenever she’s on the dance floor or teaching the newest exercise.

Jill oozes with confidence even more whenever she sways to the hypnotic, sensual beat of belly dance, the latest dance exercise that has captured the hearts of Filipinas of all ages, shapes and sizes. She showed her love for this ancient dance at the recently concluded Belly Fest 2007, the first-ever Philippine Belly Dance Festival that gathered together belly dance aficionados to celebrate a day of health, fitness and confidence.

"Belly dance is effective in helping women achieve confidence because if gives them control of their bodies and not the other way around. As they improve on their craft, they realize they are the masters of their own body, and that greatly helps in boosting their confidence," said Jill, who has been teaching belly dance for almost four years now at her own fitness center, Peak Performance Dance and Fitness.

What Jill loves about belly dance, also known as raqs sharqi or "Dance of the Orient," is that it is non-impact and non-injurious, and enables her to experiment with the movements. "As a jazz dancer, I was used to high-impact dance routines. Belly dance helps me relax a bit with my routines. Because the dance varies from country to country, you can do whatever movement you like while retaining your gracefulness and power."

With the physical demands of her active lifestyle, it is no surprise then that Jill maintains a healthy lifestyle. "Leading a healthy lifestyle is very important to me because my body is my investment. If I don’t take care of it, it won’t serve me well."

Jill’s passion for healthy living most importantly involves keeping a watchful eye on her diet particularly to benefit her digestive health. "As a dancer and fitness instructor, it is important that I am very graceful and flexible. That’s why I make sure that I take care of my digestive system so I can move more confidently and gracefully. I eat a lot of fiber-rich foods and milk for healthy bones."

To get her daily fill of fiber, Jill makes it a point to drink NESVITA Pro-Digestion every day. What Jill loves in NESVITA Pro-Digestion is that it contains Actifibras, natural soluble fiber that helps regulate bowel movement. "NESVITA Pro-Digestion gives me all the natural fiber I need for smoother digestion. More importantly, it is a delicious non-fat milk that also provides me with calcium to strengthen my bones so I could be flexible in my routines."

Jill also recommends to her students to include NESVITA Pro-Digestion in their diet. "Drinking NESVITA Pro-Digestion every day helps prevent constipation so you can be confident as you belly dance or do your other exercises. With NESVITA Pro-Digestion complementing your fitness regimen, you can definitely achieve confidence and a fit and healthy body."

Indeed, Jill Ngo-Crisologo is an inspiration to women who want to keep it fit and healthy while exuding confidence. That’s why she encourages women to start getting into belly dancing now. "Do it for fitness and health, not because you want to look thinner. You’ll see how confident you can be inside out."
