Your Attitude Can Affect Your
Heart
Heart disease is one of the most preventable chronic
disorders in the United States. By maintaining a
healthy weight, exercising on a regular basis, not
smoking and reducing fat in your diet you could
reduce your risk of heart
disease. Recent studies have shown that mental
factors could keep your heart healthy as well.
In a recent study which looked at 13,000 people
who were free of heart
disease, it was found that people who get angry
easier or more often are three times as likely to
suffer from sudden cardiac arrest or a heart attack.
In the survey, participants were asked questions
about being quick-tempered and hot-headed. They
were then rated on a 40 point anger scale. The subjects
were followed for six years, and those who scored
highest on this scale had the greatest proportion
of heart attack sufferers.
There have long been theories that depression and
anxiety as well as anger had an impact on health
issues. However, this has been the first study
that actually documented findings that anger could
be a risk factor for heart disease.
If you have a history of heart disease, it is especially
important that you try not to be angry. Doctors
suggest anger management classes, or other anger
releases such as exercise
in order to relieve tension.
