Between 20 and 40 per cent f planet Earth is cvered in grasslands, acrss every cntinent except fr Antarctica. Grass is a lw-grwing, flwering plant with grups f narrw leaves grwing frm its base. Strng rts typically hld this plant’s leaves firmly t the grund.
One f the mst cmmn sights alng stretches f grass is grass-eating animals. This is because many large animals rely n extensive grasslands t survive, and grass grws well with this regular trimming (修剪). The plants gain their energy frm sunlight and require healthy cells t d s. If the leaves aren’t cut, the tips die and start t rt. When they are damaged with a clean cut, hwever, the cells are caused t grw quicker and prduce new, healthy tissue. This is als why cutting yur garden’s grassland regularly can make yur grass lk thicker and healthier.

Using fatty fds t cmfrt eat during times f stress can harm the bdy’s recvery frm the pressure, research suggests.
Althugh many peple turn t unhealthy fds such as chclate, crisps r pastries when they are feeling the strain, researchers have fund this can reduce bld flw t the brain and cause prer vascular (血管的) functin, which in turn can have a negative effect n mental health and increase the risk f heart disease.

We all deal with stress all the time, but especially fr thse f us in high-stress jbs and at risk f cardivascular disease, these findings shuld be taken seriusly. This research can help us make decisins that reduce risks rather than make them wrse.
The study invlved a grup f yung healthy adults wh were given tw butter bread as breakfast. The participants were then asked t d mental maths, increasing in speed fr eight minutes, and alerted when they gt an answer wrng. They culd als see themselves n a screen.
The researchers fund that cnsuming fatty fds when mentally stressed reduced vascular functin by 1.74%. Previus studies have shwn that a 1% reductin in vascular functin leads t a 13% increase in cardivascular disease risk.
