Getting Angry is Good for your Health

Get it out: Getting angry is good for the heart, research has found... It may contradict common wisdom but getting angry is good for you it seems... The emotion actually reduces the negative impact of stress, according to scientists... It increases blood flow to part of the brain which is involved in experiencing positive feelings, a study has found... Researchers induced anger in 30 men with a simple laboratory method using 50 recognised phrases intended to aggravate... Before and immediately after the experiment they measured the subjects' heart rate, arterial tension, stress hormones testosterone and cortisol while scanning their brains... Dr Neus Herrero and colleagues said their findings, published in the journal Hormones and Behaviour, showed the left hemisphere of the brain became more stimulated... Dr Herrero, of the University of Valencia, said the left frontal region of the brain is involved in experiencing positive emotions, while the right is more related to negative emotions... The left frontal area also triggers 'closeness' which can generate happiness, whereas the right provokes withdrawal, fear and sadness... I said it before, I say it again: We Filipinos are historically fucked as a people and even more historically fucked as a nation because in our schools, colleges, and universities --- we have never been educated to get angry at the historical horrors needlessly happening to us as a spiritually twisted people and happening to us as a morally distorted nation!.. As a matter of truth, most of what we have been educated for is to know how to pray to Jesus to forgive our sins and crimes because all sins and all crimes, except the sin of blasphemy against the holy spirit, can be forgiven. In the meantime, here's Elizabeth Kenny... She says: HE WHO ANGERS YOU CONQUERS YOU... Oh my dear Elizabeth Kenny, millions of Filipinos are still a conquered people because in its schools, colleges, and universities - owned and operated by the Catholic church, - millions of us Filipinos are still being taught to believe that "ANGER" is one of seven deadly sins against God.
