Psychologists found through case analysis that long-term stress can lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, acute stomach cramps, immune dysfunction, asthma attacks, alopecia and other diseases. It is really negative emotions that have a great influence on people.
What diseases can happen when you are often angry and emotional? First of all, the influence of emotions on large organs:
Liver injury: There is an old saying: "Anger hurts my liver" and "Anger hurts my liver", both of which are reasonable. When people are angry, they secrete catecholamine, which acts on the regulation of the central nervous system, thus increasing the decomposition of blood sugar and fatty acids, resulting in a corresponding increase in toxins in blood and liver cells.
The risk of myocardial ischemia increases: it is the most common event that people get angry and cause pain in the precordial area, and the chest covering in the movie is not so "performing"; This is because when people are angry and impulsive, a lot of blood rushes to the brain and face, thus reducing the blood supply to the heart and causing myocardial ischemia. In order to meet the physiological needs and supply blood and oxygen, the heart has to double compensation and keep sympathetic nerve excited to regulate the blood supply of the heart, thus causing arrhythmia, increased heart rate, decreased myocardial contractility and even heart failure.
Cause dyspnea: when people are emotional, it will cause sympathetic nerve excitement, accelerate breathing, lead to hyperventilation, and respiratory acidosis, further dyspnea, and people with a history of asthma will quickly induce bronchial asthma attacks.
Cause stomachache: Some people are angry or stressed. For example, students have to face the exam the next day, and suddenly they have a terrible stomachache. This is because the sympathetic nerve is excited, which makes the gastric smooth muscle contract and produces stomach cramps stronger than bursting, thus reducing the gastric blood flow. You know, the gastrointestinal tract is the most sensitive to the pain of hypoxia and ischemia. So once there is ischemia and hypoxia, it will cause pain.
Cause immune dysfunction: When people are excessively angry, the brain can issue an instruction to promote the conversion of cholesterol in the body into sterols in the cortex. If this substance accumulates too much in the body, it will hinder the normal physiological activities of immune cells, thus reducing immunity. Long-term sulking, mental imbalance or excessive mental stress will cause excessive proliferation and activity of tumor cells.
Emotional excitement directly leads to endocrine dysfunction: for example, hyperthyroidism, elevated blood sugar; When angry, affected by hormone levels, it will make endocrine disorders, increase thyroid hormone secretion, cause hyperthyroidism, and then cause emotional excitement, palpitation, night sweats and fatigue.
If people are too angry, angry and other emotional excitement, blood sugar suddenly rises under hormone regulation; Endocrine dysfunction, sympathetic nervous system is highly nervous and excited, adrenal gland secretes adrenaline and catecholamine, which inhibits insulin function, thus increasing blood sugar content to meet the needs of the body's emergency state, resulting in a series of side effects such as elevated blood sugar, metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disorder.
What should angry and emotional people usually pay attention to? "Anger" is a strong negative emotional attack. As the saying goes, "All diseases are born of anger". In fact, being angry is not only harmful to your health, but if you do something irrational when you are angry, it may cause many serious consequences, leading to harm to others and yourself.
Don't do strenuous exercise when you are angry or overexcited: Some people use strenuous exercise to vent their emotions, but it will probably kill you. According to the American Heart Association, if you exercise when you are angry, your risk of heart attack will double within 1 hour. When people are angry, the sympathetic nerve is excited, the heart rate is accelerated, and blood pressure is raised, which leads to an increase in oxygen consumption of the heart, myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and aggravates the burden on the heart. A heart attack is a high probability event.
Don't overeat when you are angry: if people overeat in a "resentful" mood, it is naturally "self-harm" to their bodies. Doing so can only stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, thus destroying the gastric mucosal barrier and easily inducing gastritis, gastric perforation, gastric ulcer and other diseases. Therefore, when you are angry, don't "punish" yourself by overeating.
