Iza Calzado Reflects on Health After Bronchitis Diagnosis
IZA CALZADO – Actress Iza Calzado recently revealed that she was diagnosed with bronchitis, just days before celebrating her 43rd birthday.
Iza Calzado recently revealed that she had a health scare after being diagnosed with bronchitis, just as she was about to celebrate her 43rd birthday. The versatile TV and movie star, best known for her role in Encantadia, shared the news in a candid Instagram post where she reflected on the importance of making healthier choices.
According to medical experts from my.clevelandclinic.org, bronchitis occurs when the airways leading to the lungs become inflamed and filled with mucus. This often causes a persistent cough that can last two weeks or longer, making recovery challenging for those with weakened immune systems.

Iza Calzado admitted that her hectic schedule and continuous work commitments contributed to her condition. “In the middle of it all, I was pushing through work and commitments as we prepared to leave for the UK. Then my body finally gave in. Bronchitis, again. Our flight had to be moved, and we are going to miss a dear friend’s wedding in Scotland this Saturday, and I was reminded just how fragile my immune system has been this past year. It’s humbling, and honestly a bit defeating at times. But if there’s one thing people close to me know, it’s that I always try to find the breakthrough in every breakdown,” she shared.
Despite the setback, the actress expressed gratitude for her blessings and emphasized her renewed commitment to health. “Looking back at these photos and videos reminds me of how much I have to be grateful for and why I need to make better choices for my health. There is still so much to live for, so much to celebrate. I hold all of that close to my heart as I work on being in my best health in mind, body and spirit. Viva La Vida!”

Outside of her career, Iza is also a dedicated mother to her daughter, Deia Amihan, whom she shares with her non-showbiz husband, Ben Wintle.
Her story serves as a reminder that even amid busy lives, prioritizing health remains essential.
