On October 22, 2024, a class hour titled “I Choose Health! What About You?” was held for fourth-year students of the “Biotechnology” educational program. The event was organized within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically the third goal — “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.”

The main objective of the class hour was to raise students’ awareness of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, understanding the key factors affecting health, and discussing practical steps that could improve their physical and mental well-being.

During the class, it was explained that health is not merely the absence of disease but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. This concept aligns with the SDGs, which aim to reduce health risk factors and improve quality of life.

Students discussed important aspects such as:

• • Proper nutrition and its role in supporting the immune system.
  • Physical activity and its importance in preventing chronic diseases.
  • Stress management and mental health as key elements of overall well-being.
  • Harmful habits and their impact on the body.

As a result of the class hour, students reached the following conclusions:

• Health is a multifactorial system influenced by both internal and external factors.
• Modern health challenges, such as stress, poor nutrition, and a sedentary lifestyle, require a conscious approach to solving them.
• A healthy lifestyle requires a systematic approach: regular nutrition, physical activity, emotional stability, and the rejection of harmful habits.

The class hour “I Choose Health! What About You?” became an important step in fostering a culture of healthy living among students. Discussing health within the framework of the SDGs not only highlighted the main aspects of maintaining health but also outlined specific steps for improving students’ overall well-being.
