Anger makes you sick?

I have thought of this question, why people easily get angry, irritated and emotional? Just because of the stress environment we have in this advance technology world? Or there are other specific reasons?

Did you know that your anger might affect the people around you and they are so innocent to be your gas release stone? When you have all these emotional feeling, you might slam your office door in your colleague's face, bang on table, showing your dark face? Or may be you are a fist-clenching tongue biter.

When you blow your lid or bottle it up, your anger takes a toll of your health. Why not take a close look on how and where the anger will hurt and even more importantly how to simmer down safely : -

Your brain
Anger may hampering your memory. The emotion can trigger the release of high levels of cortisol and other stress hormones, which may shrink the brain's memory centers.

Your heart
Harboring hostility can release adrenaline, a stress hormone that spikes blood pressure is linked with stroke and heart disease.

Your immune system
You're pumping out the fight-or-fight hormone epinephrine. Chronically high levels may depress the immune system, making you more prone to infections.

Your eyes
Anger may spark ocular migraines, with visions of light flashes and wiggly lines. Soaring stress hormones may constrict blood vessels in the brain, causing the odd optics.

Your teeth
Repressedire could fuel bruxism, unconcious teeth gnashing that occurs during the day or while you sleep. Grinding can cause facial and jaw pain and, over time, even broken teeth.

Your belly
When we get peeved, the brain releases the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and serotonin, which can reduce blood flow to the belly. The failout may include stomach pain and diarrhea.

What is the general rule of anger management that lead to best healthy lifestyle?
The effective way is chillout when your blood begins to boil. You may take a deep breath, yoga style. repeat a calming word such as slow, or picture a peaceful scene like a sunset. You may also plan a workout or other sanity break daily to control your anger.

Live a healthy lifestyle for a your happiness!
