"   Everyone is a bit frazzled around the holidays, but there are a select few lucky people (like this girl) that freak out about everything. I&amp;#039;m always stressed about something: Am I doing okay at work? Does my hair look too frizzy today? Will I die a crazy cat woman? Yep, I&amp;#039;m always a bit crazy\u2014but, now it&amp;#039;s okay: Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center now say that self-described neurotics have a lower body mass index and fewer health conditions than those who have a &amp;quot;higher level of conscientiousness.&amp;quot; In the study, scientists measured 12 hours worth of urine samples (ew) from over 1,000 adults. They found that the volunteers who considered themselves to be more organized and self-controlled have lower amounts of Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a biomarker for chronic diseases and inflammation.  In other words, you can be both healthy and neurotic\u2014so embrace it! I know I will. Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
