Vice Ganda has been open about his commitment to self-care, regular health check-ups, and overall well-being. Over the years, the comedian and TV host has dealt with health challenges, including kidney stones, which required medical intervention in 2018.
The TV host and comedian underwent Shock Wave Lithotripsy and had stents placed to aid in the removal of the stones. While most were successfully treated, he continued to monitor his condition to prevent further complications.
Staying active and maintaining a balanced lifestyle have become part of his routine. He believes in taking proactive steps to care for his body, ensuring he has the energy to keep up with his demanding schedule.
“I stay active and energized because I take care of my body, and taking food supplements has been a big part of that,” Vice Ganda said.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the 47-year-old television personality hopes to inspire others to adopt habits that support their well-being. And that’s what he shared during a recent event where he was introduced as a celebrity ambassador.
Vice Ganda has been named the newest ambassador of Santé Barley, a barley-based health supplement brand, the company announced.
Santé International, a health and wellness company offering organic barley products certified by BioGro New Zealand, said Vice Ganda was chosen for his influence and commitment to maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
“Vice Ganda represents what Santé Barley is all about: living life to the fullest while staying proactive about your health,” said Santé International CEO Joey Marcelo.
The endorsement follows a series of achievements for the entertainer, including his 2023 Content Asia Awards win for the game show Everybody, Sing! and a Special Jury Citation at the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival for his first dramatic role in And the Breadwinner Is…
The product, cultivated in New Zealand’s Canterbury region, is marketed as a natural supplement rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, aimed at improving digestion, immunity, and overall health.
Vice Ganda will lead the brand’s campaign to encourage more Filipinos to prioritize their health with the help of the brand’s products, which include barley juice, capsules, fusion coffee, and other wellness beverages.
