Anger is not conducive to family happiness, family relations, work and our health.
As the old saying goes, "Anger hurts the body" is indeed reasonable. Because many diseases are related to anger.
Why are you always angry or angry?
"Angry" or "angry" is just a popular expression. In medicine, people often use "emotional fluctuation" to describe this state.
Anger is very common in daily life, and babies born for a few months can begin to feel angry. For example, they cry in protest when they can’t get what they want.
Why do people have such feelings of anger?
Anger, as an emotion, is actually very useful because it provides an evolutionary advantage for our ancestors. Just as "fear" makes you alert to danger, anger makes you alert to injustice, and it can inspire you to fight against it.
In order to cope with the cruel environment, the human body has evolved a flight or fight response system — — Sympathetic nervous system. When you are angry, your heart beats faster and your breathing slows down to store energy for you. At the same time, your blood vessels will expand and send blood to your limbs.
All these can help our ancestors to fight against the cruel and uninhabitable natural environment. Therefore, anger is an emotional expression preserved by human beings in evolution.
Although anger is a good thing from the evolutionary point of view, if it is particularly easy to get angry and angry, it will bring great harm to the body, not just an organ.
These diseases are all caused by anger?
The most direct harm of anger is our cardiovascular system. When people are furious, the secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine increases, blood vessels contract or coronary artery spasm, and blood viscosity increases, which easily leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, thus causing angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and even arrhythmia, which can seriously lead to cardiac arrest and sudden death.
If you are immersed in bad emotions for a long time, it may even lead to a disease called "cardiac neurosis".
In addition, frequent mood swings can also cause some other diseases or symptoms. For example, gastrointestinal diseases, when people’s emotions are depressed and stressed for a long time, will lead to sympathetic nerve excitement, lead to ischemia and hypoxia of digestive tract mucosa, and will affect digestive function for a long time; For example, in liver diseases, there are abundant sympathetic nerves in the liver. Anger and sorrow will directly lead to liver cell ischemia and affect the repair and regeneration of liver cells.
People who are often angry will increase the incidence of liver diseases, such as respiratory alkalosis. Normal people breathe 15 times in one minute, while when people are angry, the number of breaths can reach more than 30 times. Due to rapid breathing, a large amount of carbon dioxide (acidity) is excreted, resulting in respiratory alkalosis, and a series of poisoning symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, dyspnea, palpitation, sweating, pale face, numbness of face and lips, and convulsions of hands, feet and whole body.
Anger is sometimes a regulatory obstacle?
If anger reaches an uncontrollable level, we need to pay attention to whether it is caused by some diseases, which may sometimes lead to intentional or unintentional self-injury or wounding. For example, agitation is an acute state of anxiety, increased emotional arousal and increased physical activity. If left untreated, the risk of agitation and aggressive behavior will increase.
Although emotions are "necessities" of human evolution, we should learn to manage our emotions in a more reasonable way. Instead of trying to quell anger, listen to the following inner feelings — — What is your anger telling you? And can turn this anger into some positive and productive emotions.
When we are angry, there are always various reasons, such as "this man is eating" and "the car in front is driving too slowly". But it should be noted that it is not these stimuli that make us angry, but our feelings and understanding of these reasons. For example, you will not be angry every time you encounter a slow driver in front, but feel it according to your mood at that time.
To adjust emotions, you can try the following methods: 1. Consciously change your facial expressions: for example, you can imply that you smile more; 2. Divert your attention: shift your attention from negative emotions to other aspects. When you feel angry, you may wish to think about things that make you happy; 3. Take a deep breath: Through the practice of exhaling and inhaling smoothly, you can slowly stabilize your fluctuating mood. General anger, in 5-mdash; It can calm down after 8 breaths; 4. Solve from the source of anger: face things with wisdom and actively resolve them, not with emotions.
