PBA legend Nelson Asaytono may have long retired from the pros but he can still play quality minutes in a basketball match.
At 52, the former six-time PBA champion is currently seeing action in the UNTV Cup PBA Legends Faceoff.,
In fact, he’s a vital cog in San Miguel’s 2-0 win-loss record in the tournament for retired PBA greats. During their 76-61 win over Alaska, Asaytono scored eight points.
When asked about his secret to a healthy lifestyle, "The Bull" bared he does not do anything out of the ordinary.
“Wala naman,” he replied quickly. “Hindi ko naman binabawalan ang sarili ko na kumain ng masasarap pero in moderation lang.”
Aside from basketball, the former two-time Best Player of the Conference enjoys biking. He noted that it helps him build his stamina and keeps him focused on what he does, be it basketball or his business.
“Malaking tulong ‘yung pagba-bike, ‘yun lang ang palagi kong ginagawa,” he said.
Although he’s still fit to play, Asaytono pointed out that he still needs to take care of himself.
He also gave his fellow legends a piece of advice on how to take care of their health.
“Kailangan talaga alagaan mo ang sarili mo para kapag may time na maglalaro ka, or kahit papawis lang, kundisyon ka,” he said. “Kasi kapag nagkaka-edad ka na, hindi mo na pwedeng abusuhin ang sarili mo, sa pagkain limit lang sa mga bawal kung may bawal na.”
