Because of it, many people get tumors, thyroid nodules, breast hyperplasia, ......
Nowadays, it is often said, "If you don't die, you won't die", and there really is nothing wrong with this statement. Really, in fact, many diseases are self-inflicted, and most diseases are related to anger, and if you don't get angry, you won't get sick.
How common is the disease caused by anger? A study by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta found that 90% of illnesses are related to mood. So this is also the old saying that old people often say: "Illness is born from the heart". If you don't get angry, you won't get sick, and if you don't die, you won't die.
The most famous "angry death" incident in history is the story of Zhuge Liang's three qi Zhou Yu. Some historians also say that Zhou Yu did not die of Zhuge Liang's anger, but had a sudden heart attack. But in any case, Zhou Yu's death shows that anger has a great impact on an individual's health and even life.
This is also verified in modern medical science. Mental and physiological twins are born from the same root, and anger not only brings about strong physiological changes, but also produces hormones that are more complex and toxic than any emotion.
1. Doubling the blood flow to the heart
The study found that blood flow to the heart doubles when angry than usual!
When you are angry, the contraction of the heart increases, the heart beats faster, and a large amount of blood rushes to the heart, and the heart needs to work harder. At this time, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, chest tightness, palpitation, and even angina pectoris and myocardial infarction will occur.
2. The liver is larger than usual
When you get angry, the first thing you hurt is your liver! If you are often angry, you will have liver disease and even cirrhosis.
Studies have also shown that when you are angry, your liver is larger than usual. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, "anger hurts the liver", and anger leads to stagnation of liver qi and disharmony between the liver and gallbladder. Many people will experience "pain in the ribs and pain in the liver area" after getting angry.
3. The immune system strikes for 6 hours
Can anger also damage the immune system? That's right, people's mood is controlled by dopamine secreted by the brain. As a hormone, dopamine affects the secretion of many other hormones in the body.
When we are angry, our brain orders our body to secrete a corticosteroid. If this hormone accumulates too much in the body, it can hinder the functioning of immune cells and make the body less resistant. So it's no exaggeration to get angry once, and the immune system strikes for 6 hours!
4. The alveoli are constantly expanding when angry
Many people have their lungs sore when they are at their most angry. This is because anger can really hurt the lungs.
When people are emotionally impulsive, their breathing will become rapid, and even hyperventilation will occur. At this time, the alveoli will continue to expand and have no time to contract, so many people's lungs will hurt. That's why people often say, "Your lungs are going to explode."
5. Gastrointestinal dysfunction when angry
When you're angry, your stomach gets angry! This is because the blood flow in the stomach is reduced, the blood supply is insufficient, and the gastrointestinal peristalsis is difficult, which triggers the "passive slack" of the gastrointestinal tract.
Anger can also cause sympathetic nerve excitation, resulting in decreased gastrointestinal blood flow, deceleration of peristalsis, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal disorders, gastric ulcers, etc.
6. A lump appears in the breast after getting angry
After many women get angry, there will be lumps in their breasts, which is due to liver depression and phlegm coagulation caused by emotional internal injury, which is also inseparable from anger.
In addition, qi and blood stagnation and liver and spleen disorders caused by anger are also important causes of breast lumps.
7. The thyroid gland secretes too many hormones when angry
When angry, the endocrine system is disturbed, causing the thyroid gland to secrete too many hormones. The thyroid gland is an important organ in the body involved in metabolism.
When you feel your blood boiling, your thyroid gland is stimulated. Over time, it can cause hyperthyroidism.
8. Pigmentation will occur on the skin when angry
Medical researchers in the United States studied 5,000 women with pigmentation on their faces, and the results showed that when they were at a low emotional point, any drug treatment for pigmentation was unsatisfactory. And when some of these women's relationships improve, their dark spots can heal on their own.
According to the analysis of medical personnel, when people are angry, a large amount of blood rushes to the face, and the blood at this time has less oxygen and more toxins. Toxins, on the other hand, can irritate hair follicles and cause skin problems such as deep inflammation around hair follicles.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you can not get angry, you should not be angry, you should be open-minded, and big things can be solved in the end. Anger doesn't help, it hurts others and hurts yourself. Or by diverting attention and letting the temper pass before dealing with the problem.
