It often takes a huge event for us to turn our life around. That’s what happened to Thai actress Peechaya Wattanamontree as it took a trip to the hospital for her to kick her unhealthy eating habits.
In an interview for her new film Go Away, Mr Tumor, the 32-year-old said: “Before filming the movie, I was passionate about health and gathering knowledge on wellness. I personally experienced loved ones passing away from cancer.
“I believe that people have basic knowledge and discernment between healthy and unhealthy habits — but only those who have close encounters with the severe consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle will put their knowledge into action.
“During my early days in the entertainment industry, I used to enjoy unhealthy meals and was often warned by my mum to change this habit — very similar to [my character’s] mum. After I was hospitalised, I immediately practised healthy habits to this very day.”
