1. Eat healthy.

You don’t have to spend a lot to be able to eat healthy. According to Rovilson, you can just eat fish and vegetables and cut out consumption of red meat and be already on your way to a healthier lifestyle.

He also highly suggested intermittent fasting, where you avoid food intake within a specific time frame during the day.

“Minimum 16 hours for men, 12 hours for women,” the host shared. “It's a great way to reduce calorie intake.”

2. Exercise

Rovilson said that to stay healthy, you have to exercise regularly.

Rovilson, along with Tonipet Gaba, will be hosting the new show “Home Work,” a part of the “New Normal: Survival Guide” series, where they will give life hacks and quarantine tips for people staying in their homes.

Rovilson shared that in one of their episodes, he would teach viewers how to do some home exercises.

3. Stay motivated.

One way to stay healthy is to stay motivated in being healthy.

“Go online and get motivated,” Rovilson said.

“Follow the right people. Follow your fitness idols, your fitspirations,” he added.

“New Normal: Survival Guide” is GMA News and Public Affairs’ newest series of shows that hope to help Filipinos cope amid the pandemic.

Its hosts are Winnie Monsod on “Newsmakers” every Monday; Kara David on “Bright Side” every Tuesday; Susan Enriquez on “Pera Paraan” every Wednesday; Rovilson and Tonipet on “Home Work” every Thursday; and Drew Arellano on “Family Time” every Friday. – Kaela Malig/RC, GMA News
