Oamenii nervoși ar putea îmbătrâni mai repede. Ce se schimbă în corpul tău atunci când ești furios

Chronic hostility can lead to increased inflammation and accelerated aging, according to a study involving healthy adults. While anger is a normal emotion, persistent cynicism and distrust can have detrimental effects on health. The study found that higher scores of cynical distrust were linked to elevated inflammatory markers, particularly in men. Chronic inflammation is a significant factor in aging, and hostility keeps the stress response active, raising cortisol levels. However, hostility is not a fixed trait and can be changed through practices like mindfulness and stress reduction, which may lower inflammatory markers. Seeking help is advisable if persistent anger or cynicism becomes overwhelming.
