Truong Thi May named sexiest vegetarian in Asia
(VOV) -Supermodel Truong Thi May is being honoured for her healthy eating habits in the annual contest held by the Asia Pacific branch of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
She beat out fellow celebrities Maggie Q and Reigning Miss Universe Philippines Mary Jean Lastimosa and attributes her youthful appearance to wholesome eating habits.
"Vegetarian foods are natural and pure, easy to digest, and bring a sense of peace and relaxation to the meal," says May.

"Being a vegetarian helps me to avoid all the cholesterol, my hair and skin are a lot healthier, and I feel younger. It also teaches me compassion toward animals by not killing them for food."
May, the former runner-up in the Miss Vietnam Photogenic 2006 pageant, has twice been appointed to represent Vietnam at the Miss Earth pageants. Unfortunately both in 2009 and 2011 her busy schedule prevented her from competing.
This year, Chinese actor Wu Xiubo won the title of Asia’s sexiest male vegetarian.
Previously, Vietnamese singer Ho Quynh Huong had also been crowned 2013 Asia's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity Woman.
