"Anger, a Common Human Emotion, Can Turn Deadly When Excessive"
"Anger typically stems from external triggers, such as workplace issues or conflicts with colleagues."
Moreover, internal factors like anxiety or prolonged waiting can also incite anger, as these emotions contribute to its manifestation. Nevertheless, it's essential to recognize that regardless of its triggers, anger poses risks to health, as studies indicate it may even reduce lifespan.
In a study carried out in the United States, researchers noted in their findings that when individuals experience anger, the functionality of cells on the inner lining of their blood vessels is compromised.
Additionally, if an individual consistently experiences anger, it can lead to permanent damage to their blood vessels.
According to research conducted at Columbia University in New York, cell damage resulting from anger leads to the obstruction of blood flow, heightening pressure on the heart. Consequently, the risk of heart attack or stroke escalates, with prolonged anger potentially causing heart diseases. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, this study suggests that anxiety and sadness do not pose the same level of health risks as anger.
Research from Columbia University in New York suggests that cell damage resulting from anger can lead to the blockage of blood flow, elevating pressure on the heart and subsequently raising the risk of heart attack or stroke. Prolonged persistence of this condition may also contribute to the development of heart diseases.
In this study, featured in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers conclude that anxiety and sadness pose lesser health risks compared to anger.
According to Professor Daiichi Shimbu, the study's author, numerous research findings have consistently demonstrated a correlation between negative emotions and the development of heart disease.
In a study investigating the correlation between anger and heart health, 280 participants were tasked with an eight-minute personalized conversation or reading material designed to elicit various emotional states, including anger, sadness, and anxiety. Some participants remained emotionally neutral. Subsequently, scientists examined the impact of these emotional tasks on the participants' blood vessel cells.
The researchers observed that anger resulted in the dilation of blood vessels for up to 40 minutes, a disturbance that heightens the risk of heart attack and stroke. These findings underscore the significant influence of mental well-being on cardiovascular health.
