data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"sk\" data-phrase-index=\"1\">The team of scientists at the University of Cardiff came up with this statement.<\/span> <span class=\"JLqJ4b ChMk0b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"sk\" data-phrase-index=\"2\">90 students underwent an interesting <strong>test for resistance to

ChMk0b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"sk\" data-phrase-index=\"2\">No matter how bad you feel during illness, it is important to follow a regular diet so
