Iza Calzado on her health struggles: “Don't neglect the rest your body needs and deserves.”
Versatile TV-movie actress Iza Calzado is recuperating well after sharing on Instagram that she got sick with pneumonia.
Back in September, the former Encantadia star told the public that she was also hospitalized after getting diagnosed with Pharyngitis and Bronchitis.
The 42-year-old actress and mother posted on her Instagram, “I am much better now and my lungs feel strong enough to go back to work and even do light workouts. Still coughing but definitely, hopefully fully healing from my pneumonia.”
Iza added that she decided to move to a new place for a change in environment.
“P.P.S. Moved to a new home and environment and the improved air quality is already better for my lungs.”
According to my.clevelandclinic.org, Pneumonia is "inflammation and fluid in your lungs caused by a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. It makes it difficult to breathe and can cause a fever and cough with yellow, green or bloody mucus."
Iza also shared this advice about how important it is to prioritize getting enough rest.
“This is a reminder to myself too, as I've been taking time to heal from another respiratory infection.
“Rest is such a crucial part of our well being yet it is often overlooked. In today's hustle culture, we often associate hard work with success.” Iza noted.
Mrs. Wintle continued, “My question to myself is, what is all the success for if you're no longer around to enjoy it? And if you're a mother like me, to enjoy the biggest blessing we have been given -- our children.
“Finding that sweet spot for work - life harmony is my latest mission. Together with getting a full check up to address all my health concerns and making sure I have sufficient REST.”
“So take it from me-- Work your best, work your hardest, but don't neglect the rest your body needs and deserves. Rest means strong. Rest means success.”
Iza Calzado is married to businessman Ben Wintle and they have one child named Deia Amihan.
