Anger can make you sick – and fat!

Everyone gets angry from time to time but it’s what we do with that anger that can have far reaching effects on our health.
Unresolved anger in women tends to cause more symptoms of depression while in men, it can lead to high blood pressure and cardiac incidents.
Men with higher rates of hostility experience more rapid decline as they age and often suffer from poor pulmonary function.
People with less control over their anger also tend to heal more slowly and produce more cortisol, indicating they may be more stressed by difficult situations.
Excess cortisol can result in dreaded belly fat, a condition directly related to a multitude of health problems like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease.
Try adding magnesium to your diet and exercise when you feel stressed. Go for a long walk or a bike ride. Rhodiola is an excellent herb that is proving to be highly effective for stress reduction. The video below may help you look at anger a different way. It might be 10 minutes that can change your life.
