Are you aware that wearing appropriate clothes can actually lower the risk of getting Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)?β™₯️

In our country with a tropical climate, temperatures can rise on a sunny day leading to excessive sweating.🌞 It is important to change clothes as soon as possible. Use a clean and dry towel to thoroughly dry off, especially around ge***al area as moisture creates an ideal environment for bacteria to grow.

Moreover, you can wear comfortable cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes, and possibly avoid wearing fitted pants to keep the area dry and well- ventilated throughout the day. πŸ‘—

Based on the study of NNC (National Nutrition Council), genetic processes are one of the factors in the development of childhood cancers during their first 1000 days.β™₯️

Leukemia, Lymphomas, Brain Tumor, Bone Tumor, and Abdominal Tumor, those are the common types of childhood cancer in the Philippines.⚠️ It is classified as multi-factorial, indicating their development results from the interaction of environmental exposures and genetic factors.

🩷 During Pregnancy:

Mothers should avoid high risk environmental exposure such as smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke, alcohol, high energy radiation, risky sexual in*******se, eating processed meat and red meat (especially those smoked or grilled over charcoal).⚠️ Instead, eat fruits & vegetables, and food that is rich in antioxidants and Omega-3, to decrease the risks.
