Thuy Van reveals her secret to enjoying Tet without worrying about gaining weight.

Runner-up Thuy Van continues her role as MC for "Meeting Television Actors 2025," broadcast during the Lunar New Year. She appeared in outfits that were highly praised for their sophistication, grace, and suitability for the festive atmosphere of Tet.

The beauty said:“This year, due to limited time, I only managed to prepare three traditional Vietnamese dresses (áo dài) and two skirts. For each outfit, I tried to achieve the most polished look possible, while also balancing it with the styles of the other actors and actresses, as each person will bring their own unique flair to the show.”

Sharing her experience during the filming, Thuy Van said it was an extremely memorable moment in her journey as an MC.“We worked continuously from 9 am the day before until 3:17 am the next day. Although we were very tired, I knew that the staff at VFC always wanted the most beautiful shots, so they filmed each performance meticulously with many different camera angles.”

Sharing her plans for Tet this year, Thuy Van said:"Tet (Lunar New Year) has always been a very special time for me, because it's when the whole family gets together after a busy year. Like every year, I usually spend a few days before Tet preparing and cleaning the house with my family, and doing some shopping."

Tet is not only a time for rest but also an opportunity for me to feel the love, connection, and meaning of the word "family." I always hope that everyone has a warm and happy Tet holiday with their loved ones."

When asked about her secret to staying in shape during Tet (Lunar New Year), the beauty queen sincerely shared:"Tet is a time for family reunions and enjoying delicious food, so maintaining my figure can sometimes be a small challenge (laughs). However, I always try to maintain a healthy lifestyle."

First, I always pay attention to my diet. Traditional dishes like banh chung (sticky rice cake), meat jelly, and pork sausage are very appealing, but I only eat them in moderation, not excessively. I try to incorporate more green vegetables and fresh fruits and limit fried, greasy, or overly sweet foods to ensure my body doesn't consume too many calories.

Secondly, gentle exercise is something I never forget. Even during the busy Tet holiday, I always dedicate at least 15-20 minutes each day to simple exercises like yoga, walking, or stretching. These activities not only help burn energy but also keep the body flexible and the mind relaxed.

Thirdly, I maintain the habit of drinking plenty of water. During Tet, it's easy to get carried away with delicious food or parties, so the body really needs to be hydrated. I usually drink warm water, herbal tea, or lemon water with honey to help cleanse the body and aid digestion.

Finally, I always remind myself to stay cheerful and relaxed. A beautiful body doesn't just come from diet and exercise, but also depends heavily on a positive attitude. Tet is a time to enjoy, but don't forget to take care of yourself and maintain your health."
