 Introduction:  What Is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)? Imagine falling sick with a simple throat infection. You take antibiotics like you always have — but this time, they don’t work. The fever worsens. The pain increases. You go back to the doctor, only to hear: "The infection is resistant to the medicine." That is antimicrobial resistance — when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites no longer respond to medicines designed to kill them. It’s one of the biggest threats to human health, and it’s already here. Why Should We Care? Every year, millions of people die because antibiotics or other antimicrobial drugs fail to treat common infections. By 2050, experts warn that 10 million people per year could die from AMR-related causes — that’s more than cancer deaths today. And yet, most people have no idea it’s happening How Does Antimicrobial Resistance Develop? AMR doesn’t happen overnight. It grows slowly, silently. Here's how: 1. Overuse of antibiotics: People often take...

  Introduction: “I try hard… but I still mess up” Imagine a boy named Sami. Every day, he promises himself: “Today I will listen in class. I will not forget my homework. I will not talk too much.” But no matter how hard he tries, his thoughts jump like popcorn, and everything feels too fast. His teacher gets annoyed. His parents get angry.

  What Are Hormones? Hormones are tiny chemical messengers inside our body. They travel in our blood and tell different parts of the body what to do. Think of them like little text messages between organs. These messages help control many things: how we feel, how we grow, how we sleep, how we eat, and even how we love. When hormones are working fine, our body feels good. But when they go up or down too much, we start to feel strange or sick. This is called hormonal imbalance. Why Is Hormonal Imbalance So Common Today? In today’s world, many people eat fast food, sleep late, look at screens all day, and stay stressed. These habits confuse our body. Our body doesn’t know if it should rest, fight, or eat more. Over time, our hormones get tired and confused too. Both men and women can have this problem, but many people don’t know it. Doctors sometimes don’t find it quickly because the signs look like many other problems. Real-Life Story: Sarah’s Struggle Sarah was 29 years old. She wor...

  🌱 Introduction: What Is Environmental Health? Environmental health is the part of public health that looks at how our surroundings—like the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil we walk on, and the chemicals around us—can hurt or help our bodies. It may sound like a big adult topic, but even a small child is affected every day by things they can’t see. Just like we teach kids not to eat dirt or drink dirty water, environmental health works the same way: it helps protect us from things in the environment that might hurt us—quietly, slowly, and without warning.       ☢️ What Is Toxic Exposure? “Toxic” means poisonous. “Exposure” means coming into contact with something. So, toxic exposure is when your body touches, breathes, drinks, or eats something that is harmful. Now here’s the tricky part: many of these toxic things can’t be seen or smelled. They don’t burn your skin or make you fall down right away. Instead, they harm you slowly—over months or years. ...
