TV Patrol Weathercaster and Matanglawin host Kim Atienza, better known as Kuya Kim, suffered a mild stroke yesterday and is now confined in the ICU.
Though he is recovery rapidly, his condition is still under observation. Thankfully, his speech is already back.
Would you believe? Kuya Kim is very healthy, works out, and watches what he eats. He is young. And yet he had stroke. Writer Ricky Lo is even asking, if this can happen to Kuya Kim, then what about the rest of us mortals?
Anyway, I am really surprised in this turn of events. How could a healthy person have a stroke? But I guess, part of a healthy lifestyle is ample rest. I often tell my husband how Kuya Kim manages his time. He has Umagang Kay Ganda, Showtime, and TV Patrol. And all of these shows are done daily. On Sundays, he has Matanglawin, which I believe are mostly shot throughout the week. He also has a lot of commercial endorsements. So imagine that, what kind of rest does he have?
While he may be doing a lot of healthy things, his body also needs to rest. No matter how much energy you have, I guess our bodies need time to sleep as well as time to slow down.
But I also think that because Kuya Kim has lived a healthy lifestyle, his recuperation is fast. I think that if he has not been careful with his diet and physical activity, he would not have recovered as fast. And one stroke could be fatal.
Get well soon, Kuya Kim! We will miss your positive countenance on TV!
