Angry has eight harmful effects on women

Luo Weifang, chief physician of internal medicine at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, pointed out that anger can cause endocrine system disorders in women and cause the body to synthesize more cortisol. If this substance accumulates too much in the body, it will affect the normal functioning of immune cells, reduce resistance, and thus cause disease. Specifically, anger has eight major harms to women.

1. Pigmentation: When you are angry, the increased toxins in the brain's blood will stimulate the hair follicles, causing varying degrees of inflammation around the hair follicles, resulting in pigmentation problems.

2. Menstrual irregularities: Anger and depression can lead to liver qi stagnation, resulting in irregular menstruation, irregular periods, decreased menstrual flow, dark red blood, and even amenorrhea or early menopause.

3. Damage to the breast: Being angry can lead to liver qi disharmony, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and cause diseases such as breast hyperplasia.

4. Thyroid problems: Anger will disrupt the control center of the endocrine system, causing the thyroid gland to secrete excessive hormones, which will cause hyperthyroidism over time.

5. Accelerate brain aging: When you are angry, the pressure in your cerebral blood vessels increases and the blood contains the most toxins, which further accelerates brain aging.

6. Gastric ulcer: Anger can cause sympathetic nerve excitement, directly acting on the heart and blood vessels, reducing gastrointestinal blood flow and slowing peristalsis, which can cause gastric ulcers in severe cases.

7. Cause myocardial ischemia: A large amount of blood rushing to the brain will reduce the blood supply to the heart and cause myocardial ischemia.

8. Damage the immune system: When you are angry, the brain orders the body to produce cortisol, which is converted from cholesterol. If too much accumulates in the body, it will hinder the functioning of immune cells.

How to relieve anger? Shi Yu, a psychological counselor at the General Hospital of the Armed Police Force, pointed out that before getting angry, think about whether you should be angry or not, and many small things can be naturally resolved; then consider it from the perspective of others, and perhaps you can see the other side of the problem; finally, find a method of relieving that suits you, whether it is singing, taking a walk, chatting or eating, to relieve your emotions as soon as possible. Even if you are angry, you should limit it to a time limit, such as no more than 3 minutes.
