30 years may have gone by, but Sunshine Cruz still looks the same in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Filipino singer and actress shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit from today and almost three decades ago. “46 & 17 ☺️How time flies!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she keep herself looking forever young? Celebwell rounded up her top health tips.
1. Find Workouts You Love
Sunshine suggests finding workouts you love. "I exercise three to four times a week, even if it's less than an hour,” she told Pep.Ph. "I think it's really important that we also enjoy the workouts we do."
2. Cycle and Box

Sunshine does spinning and boxing, “because those are the workouts I enjoy the most,” she said. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
3. Eat Healthy
With regard to her diet, "I eat mostly protein and less carbs but every weekend, those are my cheat days. So I eat what I've been craving for on the weekends,” she said.
4. Prioritize Your Health

Sunshine reminds us that to be healthy, you need to set goals. "It's really necessary to be focused and have priorities, and, at the same time, I owe it to myself, to be healthy,” she told Pep.Ph.
5. Eat Carbs for Energy
While most people stay away from carbohydrates, Cruz eats rice three meals a day. “For breakfast, I have fried rice with Spam and vegetables. I’ve got to set an example to my children. If they don’t see me eat veggies, they won’t, too,” she told Lifestyle.Inq.
6. Dance
“When I feel bloated, I do more,” Sunshine revealed. One of her favorite workouts is dancing. “I don’t perspire, but Zumba makes me sweat.” Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
