Anger
People who regularly go ballistic are two to three times more likely to suffer heart attacks than those who rarely get mad, according to many studies.
Anger is a problem, when it’s too frequent, too intense or endures for too long say psychologists. It becomes a health hazards when it’s chronic.
Anger raises the heart rate and uncorks a spurt of epinephrine and other stress hormones. These in turn boost blood pressure and contribute arterial clogging. Losing one’s temper also impairs the ability of constricted arteries to relax normally. Even a moment of rage whether a wild outburst or quite see thing may be enough to trigger a heart attack. One study found that a single episode of being very angry increases the risk of a heart attack nine fold for up to an hour after the incident. The same hormonal cascades and blood-pressure spikes that damage the heart over time may also trigger a sudden fatal attack. The idea that letting anger fly is better than holding back is simply a myth. Allowing yourself to boil over just makes the emotion and its impact on your body more intense.
Three strategies for heading off temper tantrums before they explode.
Don’t Exaggerate
When something irritating happens, be realistic about its importance don’t further agitate yourself by calling it a catastrophe says to yourself, “It’s a problem that I can handle.”
Slow Down
when mad, your muscle tighten up, and you breathe rapidly So regularly take deeper breaths and speak more slowly when you’re not upset. That will help you calm down when you are.
Know Your Triggers
Imagine the events that automatically make you enraged. Like your boss in this blue suit chewing you out for something you can’t control. Then relax and picture yourself giving a calm answer.
