Filipina actress and model Bianca Manalo is getting some vitamin sea. Manalo, 36, shared a picture of herself enjoying the beach, posing on the sand in a black one-piece swimsuit. “Somewhere beyond and under the sea 💙,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Manalo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Meat Eater

Manalo enjoys meat as part of her diet, and prefers white meat over dark. She is not a big fan of beef steak, preferring it to be ground. "I eat all shrimp, all seafood, chicken,” she says. "I don't eat steak and pork. I only eat burgers and corned beef, that's the only beef I eat."

2. Healthy Lifestyle

Manalo says her diet is the same whether she is prepping for a beauty pageant or not. “It’s the same,” she says. “Just have a balance of everything. Drink eight glasses of water every day, sleep at least six hours per night and exercise regularly. I go to the gym when I have the time and work out for three hours because when I eat something that’s not part of my diet, I feel guilty.”

3. Iron and Vitamin C

Manalo takes supplements to support her health. “2,000 mg. vitamin C and iron,” she says. “When I feel that I am about to catch a cold or having flu symptoms, I dose myself with vitamin C… It works for me.”

4. Gym Fan

Manalo loves working out at the gym. “I do cross lifts when I go to the gym,” she says. “I want to be able to exercise at least four times a week. I used to close the gym! I rush to the locker, I'm really that addicted. When you go to the gym, you sleep well, when you wake up you feel good.”

5. Carb Queen

Manalo eats plenty of carbohydrates, which are a great way to provide energy for workouts. “I eat brown rice, wheat bread, wheat pasta for my carbs, fish and chicken for protein, and frozen yogurt for my dessert (all the time),” she says. “Carbohydrates get a bad rap with some people,” says the Mayo Clinic. “But research over the past 50 years has shown that carbs help your body during long and high-intensity exercise.”
