How Karylle became a health buff

Manila, Philippines - Karylle (photo) got into the healthy lifestyle in an effort to overcome a personal problem, which was causing her to forget about her diet and well-being.

“I went through a period wherein I went out all the time just to keep me distracted and from being sad. I stayed out late at nights at clubs. After a month, I vowed to change my lifestyle,” the singer-actress said.

She then got an invitation from fellow actress Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, also a health buff, to join a fun run. That race introduced her to Noelle Wenceslao, one of the first Pinays to traverse Mt. Everest. That meeting and run empowered Karylle to do something about her health and ultimately, life.

Since the day she discovered the transformative benefits of running, Karylle has been hooked. She runs three times a week now, and has been joining running trips in Tagaytay with her coach, Allan Ballester of the RunRio team.

Aside from running, she is also into Pilates and complements her physical activity with proper diet. “As much as possible I eat fruits before meals. I like bananas, apples and star apples,” said Karylle.

That’s why it didn’t come as a surprise when Karylle became the new endorser of Fruitas. According to Lester Yu, president of Lush Enterprises, makers of Fruitas, “Karylle fits our new product’s healthy bottled juices that sports enthusiasts love to drink nowadays.”

Karylle said that aside from being a thirst-quencher during workout or races, Fruitas helps her feel “full” before meals.

Among the Fruitas products, Karylle loves the strawberry smoothie as well as the ice candy as it brings back childhood memories. 

Fruitas is available in leading supermarkets and malls nationwides. For details, call 0906-888-2828 or 731-8886.
