German researchers just published a study that shows statistically
that people who constrain themselves and don't express anger live on
average 2 years shorter than individuals who do.
Researchers Marcus Mund and Kristin Mitte at the University of Jena
in Germany analyzed data from more than 6,000 patients to find that
exhibiting self-restraint and holding back negative emotions could have
serious repercussions for a person's physical and mental well-being -
those who internalized their anxiety suffered from an elevated pulse.
Raised
pulse can result in high blood pressure and increase a person's risk of
developing a wide range of conditions from heart disease to cancer,
kidney damage and more, according to researchers.
