Is being angry often harmful to your health?
As the saying goes, being angry is to punish yourself with each other's mistakes. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anger disturbs liver fire, which leads to discomfort of liver qi and upward rush of liver fire. The end result is that you get sick, suffer and endure. Therefore, we should be a wise person, stay happy and never get angry for our health. ?

First, anger hurts the five internal organs.

As we all know, anger reaches the liver and anger hurts the liver. In fact, anger is anger. Anger not only hurts the liver, but also hurts the five internal organs. ?

First, anger and sadness

Studies have shown that anger is harmful to the heart: it will lead to an increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease, myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction; In addition, anger can also cause nervous system dysfunction, leading to a series of nervous system symptoms and hazards such as dizziness, headache, insomnia, dreaminess and forgetfulness.

From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, stagnation of anger and rising and falling of wood fire will disturb the heart and affect its function. The heart governs the blood, and the heart governs the gods. If the heart is disturbed by fire, the blood will fail. On the one hand, there will be various heart diseases; On the other hand, it will affect people's mental outlook. In life, we can see that angry people are extremely excited and lose their minds, which is a manifestation of the damage of the mind governing the gods. When angry, the heart beats faster, leading to abnormal manifestations such as palpitation and chest tightness, and even inducing angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. ?

Second, anger hurts the liver.

Anger can lead to stagnation of liver-qi, which is smooth and troublesome. Once stagnation occurs, there will be a series of damages, and the liver will control the drainage and diarrhea, which will lead to the obstruction of liver meridian and qi and blood. For example, common diseases such as thyroid hyperplasia, mammary gland hyperplasia and hysteromyoma in women are all related to long-term sulking and liver injury. When people are angry and depressed, it can cause stagnation of liver qi, disharmony between liver and gallbladder, and pain in liver area.

Third, anger hurts the spleen and stomach.

The liver belongs to wood, and the spleen and stomach belong to soil. If the soil is sunken, it will cross the soil and cause soil diseases. Clinically, anger often leads to spleen and stomach discomfort, or abdominal diseases, or abdominal distension, or decreased digestive function, or anorexia, and so on. These are all manifestations of stagnation of liver-qi, which leads to spleen failing to rise and stomach failing to fall, and disharmony between middle-qi and qi. When you are depressed, if you don't consider diet, it will lead to long-term disorder of gastrointestinal digestive function. ?

Fourth, anger hurts the lungs.

Anger is also harmful to the lungs. When angry, the blood oxygen saturation will be relatively reduced, the internal oxygen partial pressure will be reduced, and the carbon dioxide partial pressure will be too high. In the long run, it will cause chronic pulmonary insufficiency, pulmonary hypertension, chronic pulmonary heart disease and other diseases, and even lung failure. ?

Chinese medicine believes that lung belongs to gold. Jin Kebenmu, but if the liver is depressed and prosperous, it will insult the lung and lead to liver and lung disorders. On the one hand, it is manifested as cough, usually when lying down, and relieved when sitting up. Or, cough easily in the morning; On the other hand, it leads to poor lung propaganda and affects the functions of controlling qi, regulating breathing and observing festivals. When people are angry, shortness of breath can cause adverse qi movement, lung distension, asthma and cough, which is harmful to lung health. ?

5. Anger hurts the kidney?

On the one hand, liver and kidney are homologous, and hurting the liver is hurting the kidney; On the other hand, chronic diseases can affect the kidneys. If anger hurts the heart, lungs, liver and spleen, it will lose the essence of the kidney over time. People who are often angry will make the kidney qi not smooth, which is easy to cause urinary incontinence or urinary incontinence. ?

Second, anger leads to tumors.

Why do some people grow all kinds of lumps, including thyroid nodules, breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids and so on? From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, these are all due to stagnation of liver qi. In other words, if you are sulking for a long time, your liver-qi is not comfortable, and your function of dispersing and discharging is reduced, and then your qi is stagnant, phlegm and blood stasis will easily lead to these lumps.

I once treated a female tumor patient in Austria. After receiving decoction and acupuncture treatment, her symptoms gradually eased. One day, I suddenly had recurrent symptoms. I asked the reason carefully, but it turned out to be a quarrel with my husband. Anger is the most hurtful thing, but it is mild, causing discomfort, bloating, or anorexia; In severe cases, the condition is instantly aggravated. ?

In clinical work, I have also observed that cancer patients often get worse because of anger. It can be said that it takes a long time to get angry once, and it takes a long time to slowly recover from the worsening condition. Even some patients can't get it back! The danger of anger, so that Alice. ?

Anger is the root of all diseases.

Anger is very harmful. In addition to the above, anger has the following disadvantages. It can be said that anger is the root of all diseases. ?

First, anger hurts the brain?

Extreme anger can make the brain think beyond the normal activities, often make reckless or radical actions, behave abnormally and cause bad stimulation to the brain center, and lead to cerebral hemorrhage. ?

Second, does it hurt to be angry?

When you are angry, you can't sleep because you can't calm down, which leads to trance and listlessness. ?

Third, anger hurts the skin?

Often sulking will make your face haggard, your eyes swollen and wrinkles everywhere. ?

Fourth, anger hurts endocrine?

Sulking can lead to hyperthyroidism. ?

5. Anger hurts the breast?

Anger can lead to breast hyperplasia, breast fibroma and even breast malignant tumor. Because anger is an emotional internal injury, liver depression and phlegm coagulation, phlegm and blood stasis in the chest; In addition, anger will also affect the imbalance of chong and ren, leading to qi stagnation and phlegm coagulation.

Sixth, anger turns ugly.

Anger makes people less beautiful. Especially those who often sulk, look gloomy and unpretentious, have no spirit and look ugly. ?

Fourth, how not to get angry?

When there are problems in life or work, we get angry easily. In fact, being angry is being cruel to yourself. The so-called anger is led by the nose by the external environment, and the heart turns with the environment. If you understand the reason, you will know how to prevent it.

(1) How can I not get angry?

First, deeply understand the harm of anger to health, and have the confidence to be determined not to get angry; Second, when you are ready to get angry, take a deep breath first, and after doing it several times in a row, you may not be angry; Third, try to forget troubles and unhappiness; Fourth, we should maintain our usual beliefs and mindfulness; Fifth, be happy every day, and don't have negative emotions such as resentment, anger and trouble; Sixth, relax the body and relax; Seventh, strict self-discipline and persistence in not getting angry. ?

(B) A Q psychological method to avoid getting angry

I specially introduced a spiritual method of Ah Q, which is quite helpful to prevent anger. ?

First, laugh at yourself?

Since there are many troubles, why not laugh at yourself and be narcissistic? Although the reality is in front of us, it is not a bad thing to comfort yourself mentally and try to forget for a while. As long as you are not conceited and don't sell yourself short, you can ease your troubles without delaying your work. Why not?

Second, change your mind?

Someone asked, if you are scolded, how can you be calm and not angry? I think of a passage in the Buddhist scriptures: when others scold, the first word has just come out, and the next word has not yet come out. The latter words came out, and the former words have disappeared. So it's just a gust of wind. Why are you angry? If it is written in words, white is paper, black is ink, and words are just words in the dictionary. Who has a problem with the words in the dictionary?

This is Ah Q's spiritual practice. If you use this method to smooth your mood, you won't get angry naturally. In addition, you should reflect on what happened, see the benefits of others and find your own shortcomings. So you don't have to be angry. ?

Summary: Life is rough, how can you not be angry! But being angry will damage your health, so it's best not to be angry. Anger hurts, anger hurts, anger hurts health, and anger makes us lose the joy and happiness of life. Being angry has many disadvantages and no benefits. Why are you angry? ! Health, we should not be angry; We shouldn't be angry about treating diseases. Especially when recovering from a serious illness, besides paying attention to diet and exercise, the most important thing is to keep a good mood. Furthermore, if you are out of control and distracted, you will also do things that you regret for life. (Dong Hongtao)
