In the recent SunLife virtual media conference on Monday, February 21, actor and husband of Sarah Geronimo, Matteo Guidicelli’s tip for taking care of the heart is to have a partner protect it.
In his case, it is his wife, singer Sarah Geronimo.
“My short answer is my wife takes care of my heart, hahaha!” he shared.
Explaining further, the actor believed that eating, praying, and love is the solution for “everything.”
“So if you have a happy home, happy environment, positive mindset, I think that’s the solution to everything.”
Mindset and perspective also play an important role in life, he said.
“But there’s always negativity that bounces here and there but it’s your mindset on how to process all of these things noh?
“And you’re outlook on life I think that’s very important. Because that resonates with what you feel inside eh. So you know, just have a proactive, positive mindset.”
Guidicelli also emphasized respect as he said, “Respect yourself—and I also believe to give respect to others. A little smile can go a long way kumbaga to others.”
Having a happy and contented married life also meant that he tends to let go of himself. The actor revealed that with his wife baking, he is eating cake every other day.
It does not mean, however, that he is not taking care of his health.
“But you know, at the end of the day, it’s all about balance, and I think it’s all about choices also. It’s important to have a happy mindset. If you deprive yourself—if you’re preparing for a role or something that you have to deprive yourself or control, mahirap ‘yon for a long period of time eh. So it’s very important to keep a balanced lifestyle with good choices,” Guidicelli explained.
As an ambassador of SunLife, an insurance company, he advised those in their 20s to “think about their future” and start saving up as soon as possible.
“I think that’s very important especially you know when we’re young, we like adventures, we like splurging, enjoying all these good things.
“But it’s [also] very important to think about when you have a wife when you have kids, etc., and when you build your own home, so it’s very important to start early. Para hindi mo iisipin palagi ba.”
To help promote health awareness, Guidicelli is joined by seasoned actress and media executive Charo Santos-Concio and Ultimate heartthrob Piolo Pascual as SunLife’s ambassadors for their “Partner in Health” campaign.
The company likewise is invested in providing a companion that offers health security as well as ensuring a better future for Filipinos during this pandemic.
