Healthy Anger And Your Health

Contrary to popular belief, healthy anger is not the same as "righteous anger" or "righteous indignation." You might feel righteous and still do something very unhealthy with your anger, for example.

Healthy anger fuels effective action! You can think of lots of people, yourself included, who have gotten angry and gotten busy to fix the problem. That's what we're talking about here.

This is all about making your anger work for you instead of against you. You can use it to reach your goals and realize your life's dreams. It's a matter of healing it, containing it, accessing it and expressing it in healthy, productive action.

If healthy anger is good for your health, how does unhealthy anger affect your health?

• Well, for one thing, anger is hard on your heart, as you can see on this chart from one of my past newsletters. It shows that when you are frustrated (angry), your heart rate is jagged and irregular, and when you are in a state of appreciation your heart rate is more regular and smooth.
• Depression, loneliness and anger all take a toll on cardiac health. Inability to express emotions can also contribute to problems such as anxiety symptoms and adult attention deficit disorder.
• Most of us don't know what homocysteine is, but rest assured your doctor does. Recent research has shown that anger raises homocysteine levels and therefore increases the risk of heart problems.
• Anger has also been found to cause problems with lung deterioration in men. These researchers also state that anger and stress in general can lower immune function, decreasing defenses and increasing the liklihood of illness. All the more reason to heal your anger and manage your stress!
• One of the times anger can come up and really make things worse for women is during menopause. Learn how to address the symptoms of hot flashes, depression, anxiety, fatigue and weight gain at My-Menopause-Solutions.com. Learn how to cope with this change of life and grow old gracefully.
