Chynna Ortaleza, nagkuwento tungkol sa pinagdaanang health challenges ngayong may pandemic
“A most honest selfie #2”
Ganito sinimulan ng TV host-actress na si Chynna Ortaleza ang kuwento tungkol sa health challenges na kanyang kinakaharap ngayong may pandemya.
Sa Instagram post ng asawa ni Kean Cipriano nitong Linggo, June 13, matapang na ibinahagi ni Chynna kung bakit labis ang ibinagsak ng kanyang timbang nitong mga nagdaang buwan.
Aniya, “I am 86 lbs as of today. But happy that my gut is recovering and that I am free of joint pains & headaches.
“The past 6 months have tested me. You know the saying, “Aim for progress & not perfection?” Well.. I have to keep repeating this to myself so that I can celebrate my small wins.”
Ayon sa long-time Kapuso talent, na-diagnose siya na may food intolerance sa mga pagkain tulad na lang ng dairy, eggs, at corn.
Pagpapatuloy nito, “Before the pandemic I was 109 lbs. a steady weight after giving birth to my second child. When the pandemic hit, all of us had to make really drastic adjustments. I noticed I would always have gut problems. Feeling acidic, problematic stools, dull pain on my side.
“So I took all the tests & scans I could take (you name it, I took it) and decided to also get to the root cause of my issues. Thank God, all my tests are normal.. but I did learn a lot of things about my body because of my food intolerance test that was facilitated by my team @lifesciencephil (no this isn't a paid post. I am so grateful to them really! They push me to take care of myself.)
“The test revealed my intolerances. Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Corn, etc.. I honestly felt sad because everything I used to eat & loved had all of this! I had to take them out of my system for 3-4 months! I had to reprogram for the best. I started eating what was right for my body.”
Sa kabutihang palad ay on the road to recovery na si Chynna at dasal niya na sa lalong madaling panahon ay bumalik na agad ang sigla ng kanyang katawan.
Saad ng celebrity mom, “So yup, that caused a drastic drop in my weight but atleast I gave my gut the much needed pampering. Giving it probiotics, learning to masticate properly & trying to hydrate properly.
“The past months I have started to reintroduce the no-no's on my chart.. and will also need to start building muscle. I pray that God will continue to light my way as I reconstruct the physical body that he has gifted this soul.”
Bago matapos ang kanyang post, nag-iwan din ng paalala si Chynna sa mga netizen na huwag maging mapaghusga sa mga nakikita online, lalo na at mas may malalim na kuwento tungkol dito.
Binigyan-diin niya, “I also learned that GRIEF & PTSD reflects on one's body and I have to go through this to get through it. I am in the thick of this so please be kind.
“I lost so many loved ones.. and mourn for what we used to enjoy as beings. I have plenty of traumas that I am currently dissecting.
“Let's all take it easy on each other. Most of the time what you see is never ever surface deep.”
Bumuhos naman ang suporta ng mga kaibigan ni Chynna sa show business tulad nina Ryza Cenon at Nadine Samonte.
Ikinasal si Chynna kay Kean sa isang civil wedding taong 2015 at naganap ang kanilang church wedding sa Parish of Hearts of Jesus and Mary noong November 2017.
May dalawa na silang anak na sina Stellar (2016) at Salem (2019).
