Pia Wurtzbach reveals she has high cholesterol, doubles efforts on being healthy

Pia Wurtzbach was shocked to know that she has high cholesterol, and thus vowed to double her efforts in keeping herself healthy.

On her Instagram Stories, Tuesday, the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder shared photos of herself wearing what looks like a workout set.

“Starting the day with a good workout. Who would have thought that they would say I have high cholesterol,” she wrote with a laughing emoji.

“So here I am, doubling my time in being serious. No matter what you look like physically, if your cholesterol is high then what now,” she continued.

With this, the beauty queen said she learned that “consistency is key in being healthy.”

“Not phases, not up down, it should be a lifestyle and not just when others are looking,” she said, adding that she can do it.

In another Instagram Story, Pia shared she also found out last year that she’s lactose intolerant.

“I was trying to figure out for so long why I experience pain when I drink coffee. It was the milk,” she said. “What a waste ‘cause I love eating dairy products especially cheeses.”

“Oh well, if my body doesn’t want it then, I have to let it be,” she added.

According to Pia, she is sharing these experiences of hers to remind everyone that a person’s condition can’t always be determined by physical aspects only.

“Listen to your body, make the necessary changes and your health will improve. Some (of) these challenges are reversible,” she said.

In May, Pia had been vocal about body positivity, showing that she embraces her “cellulites, jiggles and all” and shared the only BS she needs through a bikini photo. —Franchesca Viernes/JCB, GMA News
