As rightly it is being said, “Good health leads to good brain and good brains leads to good life.” And we all know how important it is to stay healthy and stay fit. In this era of being busy and running after other luxuries, we often forget what it is to stay in good shape. We over tire our bodies, extend them beyond their limits and often which leads to its malfunctioning. Our bodies are like the engines that are ready to drive you all way around and over usage often leads to its breakdown. People often are so busy that they forget the illness of their bodies and keep on working on their routines. They usually don’t have time to take a doctor’s appointment and see them on their illness.

In many countries where increasing child birth-rate might be a big problem and leading to overpopulation, Denmark faces a tremendous problem of decreasing birth-rates and the age of woman for which they wait on to conceive. Whatever might be the reason, be it being more self-dependent and finding time to discover self, or be it waiting too long for the right partner, the ultimate result is that the country’s birth rate has fallen to 1.7 children per woman, down from 1.9 which was back in 2010.

A Tool to prevent consumer complaints – Amicus shopping assistant

It was 6:37 pm, I already was 7 minutes late for the interview of Mr. Nishchal Dua which was scheduled at 6:30 pm.
