Saw this news story this morning....



Study: Angry outbursts can be hazardous to your health



Too many angry outbursts may be hazardous to your health.



A new Harvard University study found people were more likely to have a heart attack or stroke within two hours of losing their temper than those who remained calm.



This risk was greater among people with cardiovascular disease or who had other major risk factors.



Researchers say anger causes increased heart rate and a rise in stress hormones which may trigger dangerous reactions in blood pressure or in the arteries.



More studies are needed to find effective ways of preventing anger-related cardiovascular events but until then, the best way to control stress is through exercise, relaxation or psychological treatment.


I'm glad I never had a temper. Granted, most Italians do have one, but it's one trait I never developed. lol

I have a temper, a temper with a very little fuse.

In other news, ice is cold and the sun is still too hot to visit even at night.



I have a temper, but a REALLY long fuse. If you've pissed me off you earned it.

What ^ he said. Being angry is a waste of energy usually, and as the article shows is also unhealthy.

I know this is going to be a total shock, but I have a pretty short fuse with some things. I try hard to keep it in check and have the issue pretty much under control, but there is a small list of things that set me off pretty quickly.





Sadly for my line of work, one is an Indian accent.

I have rage issues and OCD. Not a good combination.
