Carlo Aquino talked about his health
Kapamilya actor Carlo Aquino revealed that he had a health struggle this year, and fortunately, he is getting better.
Carlo has been in the industry for several years already. He is considered one of the prominent actors of his generation because of his acting caliber, showcasing his versatility in every role he portrayed.
In a recent interview, based on an article in ABS-CBN Entertainment, Carlo shared that his health was a concern during the filming of the series “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” and other acting projects.
He admitted that his weight loss was drastic. His health was compromised after doing several projects. He almost went through surgery.
“Muntik na (ma-operahan) kasi nung ginagawa namin itong pelikula na ito, actually halos sabay sabay kasi ako this year, yung It’s Okay To Not Be Okay, yung The Time That Remains, yung Bar Boys, tapos may pelikula kami ni Bela (Padilla) which is next year po ata, sa March, so parang nag-decline yung health ko and nakakita sila ng parang bara sa puso ko. They had to check. Fortunately, hindi kailangan ng stent but siyempre nangayayat ako. Ngayon nakakabalik balik na. Medyo humealthy na ulit kahit papaano,” Carlo Aquino said.
He was so happy when he found out that he no longer needed surgery but a lifestyle change. Among the things he needed to stop was drinking alcohol.
He also had to take maintenance medication every day. “Wala naman (opera) pero dahil nasa tamang edad na tayo (laughs), madami na akong maintenance, for cholesterol, for high blood. Hindi na ako nag-va-vape, nag-quit na. Ang pinaka-bisyo ko na lang talaga ngayon is kape. And my daughter and my wife (laughs),” the Kapamilya actor shared.
Carlo shared that he has already stopped drinking alcohol since 2022, and that’s because of his uric acid.
“Di ba, lakas maka-senior!” he jokingly said. When asked about how he maintains his youthful glow now that he is already 40 years old, he said that he has now mastered how to reframe.
This meant that when something heavy happened in his life, he would reframe himself to have a different perspective on the problem. For Carlo Aquino, this is the reason why he still looks younger than his age.
