" After the hands-on, sweat-inducing struggle with my 3-year-old this morning to put on his coat (which I&amp;#039;m sure raised my blood pressure at least a few points), I was happy to read this: A new study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found parents in general have lower blood pressure compared to people without kids. Sure, raising kids may be hair-raising, but the researchers say that parental stress gives you a sense of purpose\u2014which in the long-term is associated with better health. Glad to know that enduring those tantrums are making me healthier!  -Amy Brightfield, Health Director "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
