Anyone who has lost his temper knows that temper is a persistent emotion, which can last for hours, days or even weeks. Scientists have made a deeper explanation of temper from the physiological point of view, and believe that temper is a physiological response of the human body to external stimuli, which is carried out through the feedback of nerves and body fluids.
When a person flies into a rage and loses his temper, the secretion of adrenaline (a hormone in the body) will increase, leading to physical changes such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, high blood pressure and arteriolar spasm. At this time, from the appearance, angry people will show the phenomenon of blushing and speaking gruffly, and when they are angry, their whole body will tremble involuntarily. Many experiments have proved that too much adrenaline secreted by human body can damage liver, heart, kidney and brain cells.
Why do different people have good and bad tempers? The main reason is that people with bad temper often have poor restraint ability, that is, their threshold of nerve stimulation is relatively low. For example, we often encounter some unpleasant little things, which are only slightly irritating to ordinary people, but for people with bad temper, the nerves seem to be greatly stimulated and will respond immediately, which will increase the secretion of adrenaline in the body, leading to anger and loss of self-control, which will seriously affect health.
Now that we know that a bad temper is bad for our health, how can we overcome it? The doctor told us that regular exercise is good for stabilizing our mood. Also, you can relax by listening to music. For example, when you are depressed, you can listen to sad music first, then tune a few songs, and then relax happy music, and your mood will gradually improve.
According to modern scientific research, there is a certain relationship between food and temper. Carbohydrate foods have a calming effect because they can stimulate the production of a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which can make people feel calm. On the contrary, foods containing a lot of caffeine can lead to neurasthenia and bad temper. Therefore, choosing appropriate food will bring certain benefits to improving temper.
If you want to keep your mood in a relatively stable state, there is another important aspect, which is to ensure adequate sleep, because this can relieve fatigue and eliminate bad emotions.
In addition to the above-mentioned aspects, if you are a person who is prone to lose your temper, you should strengthen your self-cultivation, be open-minded and optimistic about others, care more about others, consciously restrain yourself, and don't think about unrealistic things, so that after a period of time, you can gradually raise your stimulus threshold and won't lose your temper when you meet something that is not so satisfactory.
