“Being a vegetarian, I find it really good if you wanna practice eating right.  It’s not only for slimming but more for cleansing.  Second is movement.  I don’t have time to go to the gym but I make it a point that I move a lot.  One of these days I might go back to the gym for muscle toning and endurance.  And then rest, that’s very important.  I would also recommend people to read ‘The Seven Pillars of Health’ by Dr. Don Colbert.  I learned so much from that book.  It’s about the natural way to better health of life.” --Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio, actress turned TV host

“I’d love to actually go to the gym to work out but since I can’t all the time, I try to move a lot.  You won’t see me sitting down or lying down not doing anything because I’m really active.  Sometimes I’d jog if I have time.  I don’t follow a strict diet because I love eating but I stay away from some food.  I make sure that I eat breakfast and dinner everyday.” --Doc Marlon Pecjo, acclaimed photographer

“Have a balanced diet. Eat fruits and vegetables that are high in Vitamin A, D and C. Good for your vision and immune system. Do a 10-minute brisk walking at least three to five times a week. Good for the cardio-vascular system. It’s like jogging for 30 minutes but in a faster pace. Drink at least 10 glasses of water. Although eight is commonly recommended. Good for the system and helps your skin delay aging process. Keep re-hydrating.” --Robert L. L. Relova III, managing director

“I believe in balanced diet, exercise, and sleep, the last one I don’t really get to do that much.  I go to the gym twice or three times a week for endurance training.” --Alfred Vargas, actor

“Garlic overdose and lots of water — aside from the fact that I love the taste of garlic, it is my natural antibiotic! When I feel I am coming down with a cold to a flu, I make sure I eat something with garlic. Plus, garlic helps manage cholesterol level. I try to avoid carbonated drinks, iced tea, etc.” --Anthony Suntay, sports enthusiast

“To live a healthy lifestyle, balanced meal is number one, exercise is second, and third is to be happy.  Going to the gym gets me really motivated but I also enjoy going to the mall with family and friends. You wouldn’t believe how much calories you can burn by walking inside the mall for almost four hours. --Theresa Fenger, Century Superbod ‘09 winner

“I’m not a fan of the gym but I’m not telling people not to go to the gym but being fit and getting healthy is all about discipline and will power.  I made it a part of my life that every morning when I wake up I do 100 push-ups but I started with 20 and then gradually increasing it.” --Derek Ramsey, actor and sports enthusiast

“As far as nutrition is concerned my motto is ‘everything in moderation.’ Hence I can enjoy good food as long as I don’t binge.  I don’t believe in fad diets.  I also believe and practice regular exercise.  Find an activity you enjoy so you have incentive to do it and it doesn’t get boring.  For me it’s badminton and dancing when I can.” --Dr. Minguita Padilla, founding chairperson of  Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines

“Laughter, playing with my kids, and balanced meal.  I eat five times a day but all in small proportions and I stay away from sweets.” --Cathy Garcia-Molina, movie director

“Of course, with the hectic pace of life nowadays, it’s always good to take nutritional supplements like Ensure to keep you strong, fit and healthy.  Getting enough exercise and eating the right kinds of food can best be maintained with a positive attitude.  That’s why it also helps to have a good sense of humor and some quiet time to give you a calm perspective.  Combine all this with taking Ensure, the number one doctor recommended health supplement, and you’ve found the best way to ensure your health and your heart.” --Gloria Diaz, award-winning actress

“All things in moderation, including moderation.  I walk or bike rather than use a vehicle, steps rather than an escalator, I prefer manual labor to gym workouts, trimming trees, cutting firewood, clearing land for a vegetable garden.” --Michael Di Lonardo, The Farm general manager

“A start to your day.  I sit and try to be still for a moment; opening up my day in the way a teacher shared with me, by cultivating a sense of: Gratitude — a true acknowledgement and appreciation of all in your life, taking nothing for granted and saying “Thank you”. Forgiveness — heal yourself, lighten your load, by both asking for and offering up forgiveness to others. Even if you may never see them again, the true intention in your heart will bring about a healing.  “I’m sorry”. Humility — a sincere cry from within for help in this life, to cultivate a clear, calm mind, kindness, an inner strength. Compassion, care and love are its natural results.  An earnest request for guidance is always answered.  “Help me”.  Impact your day and life with just a few minutes of this contemplation.  Make it yours, personal and intimate. --Jose Antonio Arando, yogini

“Ever since I was a kid, my mom would always serve us fish and lots of veggies. She would narrate to us the many benefits of this kind of food combination. Now, my wife and I have passed it on to our kids. We don’t serve pork anymore. For my part, I’m not really a gym fanatic so I just have one to two meals a day substituting those missed meals with fruits like papaya. Of course, there’s no substitute for a weekly relaxing massage. And at night before dozing off, nothing beats communing with God in prayer, the source of genuine peace. --Nonoy Zuñiga, doctor and singer

“Regular Navy SEAL exercises like push-ups, sit ups and HI SMART Vitamins. --Mike Loyola, Navy SEAL Team

“Training in the morning advisable as it starts the day with the right mindset for an entire day of total fitness. Making it the first thing to do eliminates the possibility of making excuses not to work out. To keep fit, proper fitness should come with the appropriate and proper diet. Eating right is essential for a proper workout. Being too obsessed with what you eat should not be the cause of worry.  Instead, know that your calorie output should exceed your calorie input. Lastly, fitness should be fun and enjoyable. Find a fitness activity that you enjoy doing. We at Fitness First continually develop high-energy exercise programs that allow members to work out a sweat and at the same time have fun.” --Mark Ellis, Fitness First Philippines country manager 

“Vegan diet, soya milk, and walking daily.” --Buboy Lagunday, rescue instructor

“Daily bike and 10km run everyday and lots of fruits and vegetables.” --Carina Dayondon, 2007 Everest Summiteer

“I follow a special hormone-friendly and anti-aging program called “paleolithic” or “stone age” diet. I avoid all carbohydrates made from unsprouted grains like pasta, bread, and rice. I get my carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, and various sprouts. Protein sources from animal meat like fish and chicken and fats from healthy oils. Most are eaten raw and if they are cooked they are not heated to more than 100 degrees celsius.” --Dr. Christopher Rex Gloria, Asian Institute of  Longevity Medicine

“Run and swim in intervals with diet mostly fish and vegetables.” --Rey Godoy, Skipper, Balangay boat and diver, coast guard

“There are quite a number of practices that keep me staying fit and healthy, which have actually become a welcome habit. For one thing, I drink milk everyday, Nesvita Pro-digestion, specifically chosen for its low-fat and high fiber content. I was once told by the former CEO of Nestlé Phils. that a woman needs to have her daily fill of calcium as beyond the age of 18, she can no longer deposit nutrients into her bone. She will in fact be withdrawing from the calcium she had stored since childhood. Daily intake in good amounts will prevent this occurrence.

"I engage in cardiovascular activities that I truly enjoy such as squash and some running. They keep my heart pumped and healthy, building my endurance and consequently, my fitness level. Those endorphins after a great workout out make me one giddy gal.

"Just as I am active, I also take time to rest. Sleep, massage, meditation or perhaps just some down-time with the kids help me recover from the strain I subjected my body to.” --Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez, Nestle Phils. wellness ambassador
