Sweet Potatoes and Boiled Bananas Become Denada's 'Must-Have' Riders Every Time She Works!

"Every time I work, there has to be boiled food. Like my Zumba riders. So if I work at a Zumba event, my riders must have one tray of boiled food that contains sweet potatoes and this, basically what people usually use in those offering areas," said Denada when met in the Buncit Raya area on Tuesday (12/05/2026).

The main reason Denada chooses boiled sweet potatoes and bananas is because of the ease of obtaining them wherever she is. Even if she has to work in a remote village, this traditional food is always available in local markets. Denada feels more comfortable consuming natural food rather than relying on fast food that is less nutritious.

"It's the easiest to get. So no matter which village we are in, it will definitely be there, so it's not a hassle," Denada continued explaining the practicality of her favorite food.

Irfan Hakim, who was next to Denada at the time, also commented on his friend's eating habits. He observed that Denada was very disciplined in maintaining her daily nutritional intake to support her physical fitness. Irfan even started to adopt Denada's healthy lifestyle by regularly consuming boiled eggs and berries every morning.

For Denada, health is the most valuable long-term investment, especially for her as a single parent. She is well aware that to support her daughter's growth and development, she must have a strong and healthy body. Therefore, she never skips her daily intake of protein from boiled eggs.

"What I like the most is actually the most nutritious, the one that should never be skipped is eggs. Boiled eggs should never be skipped," emphasized the 47-year-old woman.

Her decision to switch to a boiled food diet has also positively impacted her skin quality and maintained her weight. Denada feels more fit and does not get tired easily, even though she has to go through a packed shooting schedule from morning to night. She wants to inspire many people that living a healthy life doesn't have to be expensive.

Snacks of sweet potatoes and boiled eggs have now become Denada's trademark at every opportunity. In fact, her colleagues are very familiar with this unique habit of the diva. Denada feels proud to be able to maintain her local taste preferences even though she has often traveled around the world.

With a disciplined and simple lifestyle, Denada proves that true happiness comes from small meaningful things. She hopes her healthy habits can be emulated by her fans to remain energized in pursuing their dreams.
