Secrets of Superbods

MANILA, Philippines – To be named a Century Tuna Superbod means exuding the highest level of X factor attained not only by having a knockout figure but more importantly by having an intelligent mind.

These are the qualities that made this year’s Century Tuna Superbods winners Van Victor Leano and Theresa Fenger stand out among 20 finalists. Theresa and Van each went home with half a million pesos each, after being named brand ambassadors for healthy living.

So what are the secrets behind being a Superbod? For Van and Theresa, all it takes is having the discipline and dedication to commit to a healthy lifestyle so as to achieve not only a fit and healthy body but also a healthy mind.

For 24-year-old restaurateur and model Van, combining a healthy diet and exercise is important to achieve a lean yet healthy body. “Cut down on carbs and avoid fatty foods, junk foods, alcoholic drinks, and sodas. Make sure to drink plenty of water to flush down toxins from your body. Hit the gym everyday and jog every morning, while making sure you get enough rest as well,” shares Van.

It is also a must to keep your mind sharp and alert. For Van, managing their family-owned restaurant, Vibang’s Delights, gives him the opportunity to learn more for the growth and success of their business. “I want to study cooking to better understand our business. At the end of the day, you also want to have the brains to match your good body,” he explains.

Music student Theresa, 21, also believes in keeping oneself healthy by being physically active and having a balanced diet. “Go the gym regularly. Put your diet on a tight watch, but don’t deprive yourself of treats every once in a while. My diet is mostly tuna, chicken, sweet potatoes, and egg whites,” she says.

To boost one’s brain performance, Theresa recommends reading more and writing a lot. “Reading good books inspires you to write what you feel and want to share with other people. Writing is also a good way to practice your communication skills. So try to practice your writing skills by writing stories, poems or songs,” asserts Theresa.

To help achieve a healthy mind and body, Van and Theresa advise people to include Century Tuna in their daily diet. With its omega 3 DHA component, Century Tuna helps not only to promote heart health but also boosts good brain performance. Century Tuna keeps both Van and Theresa fit and healthy, while keeping them mentally alert and focused to do the things they love to do. Century Tuna also keeps these Superbods feeling good and happy even amid stressful or challenging situations.
