  Healthy Eating | Heart Health | Helpful Digital Picks High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. But did you know that some everyday foods can help lower LDL cholesterol, often called bad cholesterol? LDL (low-density lipoprotein) carries cholesterol through the bloodstream.

Why Does Your Dog Stare at You? 5 Reasons Behind This Behaviour

Image
  Have you ever noticed your dog sitting quietly and staring directly at you? Perhaps you are watching television, preparing dinner, working at your desk or simply relaxing on the sofa when you suddenly notice those familiar eyes following your every move.

  Have you ever talked to your dog and wondered how much of what you are saying your dog actually understands? You might say, “Come here, let's go for a walk,” and your dog suddenly gets excited. Or perhaps you say something in a gentle voice and your dog immediately looks at you with those familiar eyes. But is your dog really understanding your words, or is your dog mainly responding to the way you say them? The answer is a little more interesting than you might expect. Dogs Pay Attention to Our Tone Dogs are very good at noticing changes in our voice. A happy, excited tone can make your dog become alert and enthusiastic. A calm voice can help your dog settle down. A sharp or angry tone may cause your dog to become cautious or uncomfortable. This is one reason you may notice your dog reacting to your voice even when you are not using a command. Your dog may not understand every word you say, but the tone and emotion behind your voice can provide important clues . But Dog...
