Because healthy is beautiful

-

Supermodel and mom Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales stays fit and sexy with a healthy lifestyle and a super drink she takes every day. The super drink she alludes to is also known as the superfood açai berry, harvested from the Amazon rainforest­s of Brazil, exclusivel­y produced by Organique, Inc., and sold at Mercury Drugstores nationwide, Watsons, Landmark, S&R, Rustan’s, Robinsons Supermarke­t, Pure Pharmacy, South Star Drug, St. Joseph, Rose Pharmacy, Metro Pharmacy.

Although she has always led an active lifestyle and eats balanced, well-portioned meals, Tweetie discovered she had acid reflux two years ago. For a time, she admitted she was dependent on over-the-counter medication for first aid and maintenanc­e. Then, she met Cathy Salimbango­n, one of the founders of Organique, Inc. a couple of years back. This meeting changed Tweetie’s life.

“I tried it for two months and it really works. It had an almost instant, obvious effect. I had hyperacidi­ty at the time. The over-the-counter antacid I was taking then no longer worked. Then, I started taking Organique Açai Berry Premium Blend, and I can happily say I’m off my meds now. Since my first drink of Organique, I have been able to manage my hyperacidi­ty without the help of strong meds, save for a few severe cases of an attack,” Tweetie reveals.

She adds, “It has so many other health and beauty benefits. I even bring a bottle with me during trips. I take a straight shot of Organique Açai Berry Premium Blend right out of bed every morning and another one in the early evening. The practice helps manage my high acidity levels by providing an alkaline environmen­t for my system. Now, I can take a double espresso in the morning 15 minutes after I take Organique Açai and another in the afternoon. I share whatever stash I have.”

What about her other secrets to looking good at her age? Tweetie admits her own journey to health and fitness is something she developed within herself at a young age. “I put on a lot of sunblock. I don’t leave home without it. I don’t shy away from Vitamin D and the sun, but I am diligent in protecting my skin from its harmful rays. I also love to sleep, so whatever extra time I have, I take a nap. I think it cures many things, illnesses, fatigue, and it makes you a better person when you wake up because you’re refreshed, so you’re so much better to talk to. You’re more alert, and you feel stronger too. I also avoid getting stressed out,” she says. Tweetie attributes her youthful glow to her daily regimen with Organique Açai Berry Premium Blend.

Organique Inc. founders, Joseph Elton Salimbango­n and his wife Cathy personally chose Tweetie De Leon-Gonzales to be the brand ambassador of Organique Açai Berry Premium Blend because she exemplifie­s the brand’s core values.

“Tweetie has maintained a healthy lifestyle at the age of 49 and is now reaping the benefits. She is a working mother of four who not only built herself a career as a supermodel, but as a businesswo­man as well,” says Cathy.

As a proud mom to four grown-up kids, Tweetie also shares that food and nutrition play an important role in her family’s healthy lifestyle. “Having an active lifestyle is just as important as nutrition in achieving good health and well-being. It is something that everyone must make time for in the same way that we all make time for our meals. Treat it as a sacred hour of selflove and cherish every minute for there will be infinite rewards.”

For the model-turned-TV personalit­y, these are the key to happiness: “There should be balance in everything. Balanced nutrition, exercise, work and rest, self and others,” Tweetie says.
