In moderation, stress is actually a good thing. Stress motivates us to stay focused and alert and increases our productivity. One type of stress, eustress, is actually a necessary part of a balanced, meaningful life.

Eustress adds spice and flavor to our experiences, making us feel vital and alive.

This type of stress is called distress and can become an ominous threat to both our emotional and physical well-being.

Stress is both a physio-logical and psychological reaction to events that disturb our personal sense of balance.

However, to have too high or so low of a cholesterol count in blood can be a very dangerous factor, often driving with an heart attack or a stroke.

The major part of cholesterol in our bodies comes from foods which we eat. The foods high in greases, in particular saturated and and trans fats, contribute to the high levels of the cholesterol of LDL.

While the genetics plays a part in cholesterol levels, a regime change is the most effective way to lower the dangerous cholesterol levels, and reduces your cardiac disease risk and of associated health issues.

The lower leaves are cauline (attached to the stem without petiole). The upper leaves have a clasping base. They have large, disc-shaped pink-to-purple, rarely white, solitary flower heads at the end of the stem. The flowers consist of tubular florets. The phyllaries under the flowers occur in many rows, with the outer row with spine-tipped lobes and apical spines. The fruit is a black achene with a white pappus.
