Destructive Anger Increases Risk of Heart Disease
Abundant evidence suggest anger can be damaging – both emotionally and physically – but the type of anger can make a difference in the health risks. For example, a recent study classified anger into three categories:
- Constructive anger – discussing to resolve the situation
- Destructive anger justification – blaming others for one’s anger
- Destructive anger rumination – brooding over an anger-inducing incident.
According to the research results, “higher levels of destructive anger justification was associated with a 31% increased risk of CHD (coronary heart disease) in both sexes.” In addition, destructive anger justification was also “predicted CHD incidence.”
The moral to this story seems clear: It’s better to forgive than induce your own heart disease.
Thanks for every other great article. Where else may anyone get that type of information in such a perfect approach of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m on the look for such info.
