End each year with a few good lessons and start the new one by showing that you have learnt the lessons of the past well. Stay healthy and safe. We care about your health. Happy New Year!

This new year, consider gathering with your loved ones every other week to catch up. Staying connected with your grandkids on a regular basis will strengthen the bond between you and the entire family closer together.

The digital world is now part of everyday life. When we stay connected via our digital devices 24/7, we become anxious, distracted and less productive. Digital Detox is a practice we highly recommend for new year resolution.... Many experts believe that digital device overuse represents a behavioral addiction that can lead to physical, psychological, and social problems.
