It confirms a strong relationship between anger and both the onset and outcome from coronary heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>Many people believe that unexpressed anger must necessarily &#8220;build up,&#8221; leading to resentment, high blood pressure, a heart attack or stroke. This mistaken idea, based on the concept that anger is a substance, leads to the belief that anger should be &#8220;released&#8221; so that we do not fall ill or explode in a fit of rage.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging times increase the tendency for negative moods and aggressive behavior. Contemporary society subjects us to a constant barrage of annoyances. Moreover, many of us are angry at our former employers for loss of jobs or at the financial service industry&#8217;s inability to protect our life savings. However, giving way to anger makes nearly any situation worse. We may feel a temporary satisfaction when we lash out at another in anger, but this only fuels a vicious cycle as the other person seeks his own revenge.<\/p>\n<p>The author, Robert Allan, is a clinical psychologist who works at the Weill Cornell Medical College, author of &#8220;Getting Control of Your Anger&#8221; and co-editor of &#8220;Heart and Mind: the Practice of Cardiac Psychology.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: happydays.blogs.nytimes.com NEW YORK, USA, June 25, 2009: There is a strong link between chronic anger and heart disease, according,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7963\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
