DOCTOR KNOWS BEST: LET THE BREEZE IN, LEAVE THE UNDIES OUT

MEDICAL advice sometimes gets lost in translation but former Health secretary and current Iloilo 1st District congresswoman Inday Janette Garin has bravely charted a new course in public health advisories.

While social media influencers suggest anything and everything for better health such as yoga poses that defy gravity, Inday Janette has gone, quite literally, to the bare essentials. Her advice? Ladies, when you’re at home, especially in this scorching summer heat, it’s high time to let the breeze in and leave the undies out.

Yes, you heard it right. Amidst a backdrop of rising temperatures courtesy of our relentless summer and an enthusiastic El Niño, Inday Janette has taken a stand against the unseen oppressor of fungal infections by suggesting a wardrobe revolution that starts with what you don’t wear. Forget about detox teas and meditation apps; the secret to health, it seems, lies in the liberation from our undergarments.

This isn’t just a quirky tip for beating the heat; it’s a full-blown fungal infection prevention strategy. It’s ventilation, but not as we know it. It’s about creating a breezy environment where yeast dares not tread.

Of course Inday Janette knows what she’s talking about; she is a medical doctor by profession. And in the quest for comfort and good health, sometimes doctors do know best.

If her advice comes as a shock to you, just remember that fashion and health trends come and go, but the wisdom of a former Health Secretary is forever.
