Ruffa Gutierrez reveals her daily routine for a healthier, happier life

Discipline, consistency, and keeping things simple. That for Ruffa Gutierrez is her guide to a happy and healthy life. It’s all about lifestyle habits that she sticks to, day in and day out.

On her daily routine, she said, “I sleep eight hours a day. I sleep before midnight.” As much as possible, she avoids sweets, cuts out alcohol, and makes a conscious effort to manage stress.

Now in her 50s, she also believes mindset plays a big role in overall wellbeing. “Stay away from toxic, stressful people,” she said, noting that she surrounds herself with uplifting friends, especially women who bring positivity and genuine support.

When it comes to her eating schedule, she follows intermittent fasting, eating after lunch. Her meals are simple, consisting of fish, steak for protein, vegetables, and shirataki rice. She mostly drinks water. “It’s not actually expensive to lose weight. It’s really discipline.”

She takes multiple vitamins daily, all prescribed by her doctor, while prioritizing proper protein intake. Ruffa said she allows balance through moderation, adding, “Meron namang cheat day,” so she doesn’t feel deprived.

For exercise, she does weight training with a trainer for about an hour, two to three times a week. She admitted she only started seriously last year and has been inconsistent but continues building the habit for better health and strength.
