Antibiotic resistance is a serious and growing public health challenge in Europe.
Misuse and overuse make bacteria resistant, making infections harder to treat.

🧬 Good immunity is built day by day.
New research shows how sleep quality and balanced nutrition help regulate inflammation and strengthen key immune responses.
Small daily habits → stronger long-term defenses.

It’s more than “not getting sick.”
It’s a lifelong balance — where your body learns, adapts & stays resilient from childhood to old age.
