Teen star Kathryn Bernardo confessed she loves sweets so much that she stopped eating rice.
“Sobrang hilig ko sa sweets! It was a toss between rice and sweets—desserts, chocolates, ice cream—and I chose sweets,” she said. “Having a lot of both at the same time would be too much.”
The 18-year-old TV actress added that she “can eat anything in moderation,” but prefers chicken, fish, fruits and veggies.
Smart C endorser
She complements her low-carb meals with Smart C, a fruity drink with 500 ml of vitamin C per bottle.
Smart C is a better alternative to soda because “it has vitamin C, known to boost the immune system, and is less sweet,” according to Cherie Gaw, assistant marketing manager of Oishi, maker of Smart C.
It comes in Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush and Pomelo Grapefruit flavors, which are best taken chilled.
Bernardo’s discipline in keeping a healthy lifestyle makes her the fitting endorser for Smart C. She stays active by doing pocket workouts between shoots.
“Being fit enables me to go through long hours of shooting. It also allows me to wear the clothes that I like,” she said.
She, indeed, looked stunning in a silk yellow skirt paired with a green printed top and killer heels at her recent Smart C launch held in Aracama, Bonifacio Global City.
Bernardo is currently shooting the movie “She’s Dating the Gangster” with onscreen partner Daniel Padilla. The movie is an adaptation of the young-adult book by local author Bianca Bernardino.
Given the chance, she plans to hit the beach in Palawan, go spelunking in Sagada or try out white-water rafting in Cagayan de Oro in her free time.
Would she go there with Padilla? “Why not!” she said, smiling.
The duo are both active in social media. She has 3.14 million followers on Twitter and over 900,000 followers on Instagram.
“I maintain my @bernardokath accounts myself. They’re very personal,” she said. “I update fans through my posts, but I have no Facebook account.”
Bernardo’s tip to girls her age: Stick to the basics. “Eat and drink healthy. Take care of your skin. Wash your face before sleeping. Put on moisturizer. Travel. Enjoy life.”
