The artist does not eat much starch, fried foods, grease, or fast food. The actress's breakfast always includes an egg, a glass of milk, sweet potatoes, and vegetables. The actress maintains the habit of boiling vegetables such as squash, sweet potato leaves, and okra for each main meal, limiting the use of accompanying spices. She bought a vegetable steamer for convenience when going out. For lunch and dinner, she balances her nutrition by combining vegetables with white meats such as chicken, duck, and fish.

The actress said that at the age of over 50, her joints no longer have much lubricant, so she does not exercise at high intensity. She chooses to walk lightly on the treadmill for about 30 minutes every day. "Before choosing a sport, I always see a bone and joint doctor for advice. My joints show signs of aging, so I do not choose running to avoid ligament sprains," the beauty said.

She walks on a treadmill instead of outdoors because she wants to track her heart rate, steps, and specific distance while exercising. According to Viet Trinh, listening to music on the treadmill and singing along helps her feel more excited.
