Anger Can Make You Sick - By Alison McCook

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who are hostile or angry for longer periods of time are more at risk of health problems, according to a review of recent literature on anger and health. Does chronic anger really affect health? "Scientists now are pretty confident that it does," Dr. John Swartzberg of the University of California, Berkeley, told Reuters Health.

According to the university's Wellness Letter, preliminary evidence suggests that chronic anger may weaken the immune system and cause other health problems, perhaps by triggering bad habits such as smoking and drinking, or by boosting stress hormones, which may affect immunity. Swartzberg edited the report. In an interview, he noted that he and his colleagues decided to assemble an article about anger and health following recent studies that investigated this relationship.

In addition, global events and news of fights at sporting events demonstrate that "there's a lot of anger in the world today," he commented. The report describes two recent studies that found hostility can increase the risk of dying, among both men with risk factors for cardiovascular disease and postmenopausal women with heart disease, among whom hostility also increased the risk of a second heart attack.

Another study showed that nearly 40 percent of people who had the most common type of stroke, called ischemic stroke, had felt angry or experienced something upsetting within two hours before the event. In terms of treating anger, Swartzberg had several recommendations. Try to find the source of the anger, he advised, and take steps to change circumstances that contribute to it. Try relaxation therapy or meditation to quiet the body, he suggested. Think about how to satisfy needs in a constructive way, and consider therapy, he said.

Swartzberg added that research also shows that anger management courses can help -- but only if people volunteer for them, not if they are forced to attend, suggesting that "motivation" is a big factor. "We're not helpless in the face of this," he said. "There are things we can do." SOURCE: UC Berkeley Wellness Letter, July 2005.

This is awesome! I donated my car through donate car, they picked it up and I got to write it off my taxes. It was worth more to me as a write off than what I could have sold it for! Besides it's really cool knowing how it's actually helping someone.

All Slots online casino has announced another big jackpot win, hit on none other than the popular progressive online slot, Fruit Fiesta. Although this wasn't the largest jackpot ever won on Fruit Fiesta, at $31,495.50, this jackpot is still an impressive chunk of change.

As a member of the esteemed Jackpot Factory, which is a small but mighty network of Microgaming online casinos, All Slots is no stranger to big-money wins. Their most recent published payout reports for May, 2008 (prepared by eCOGRA), show the slots averaging at 95.6%.

Although you might think it to be a hardship for an online casino to pay out such a large amount of money, the reality is that the money isn't even All Slots Casinos' to begin with.

Being a progressive jackpot, the money actually comes from Microgaming Software's broad network of online casinos - each contributing to the Fruit Fiesta wide area progressive jackpot.

You simply can't get better free publicity than that. I mean, hey, I'm writing an article about it right now - and you can bet hundreds of other online gambling portals are doing the same. Not only does All Slots do a great job getting the word out there (largely through their press releases and online blog), they continually generate a steady stream of big winners. Just visit the All Slots Casino website and take a look at their Recent Winners page to see for yourself.

In this case, the latest big money winner is a player by the username of Tonya J., who has apparently been a player at All Slots for several years. Not believing that she had won at first, Tonya said she never expected to win this big on the slots. She always knew it was a long shot possibility in the back of her mind, but never couldn't conceive that it would actually happen to her. It goes to show that you never know when a big progressive jackpot will come your way. Of course you have to be in the game to win. Just remember to have fun along the way. Fortunately, the games at All Slots are very entertaining and engaging (thanks to Microgaming).

I believe the you can be much more successful with Anger management when you take Resveratrol supplements, i recommend the Pure ResVer ...What do you think about it?

Posted by resveratrol supplements (email) on 8/31/2009 @ 4:32 AM

EVERYONE wants to be happy. But, when you don't know how to "be happy" you will, by default, be unhappy and angry all the time... whether you express it outwardly or not. Unlike the vast majority of therapist and counselors, I do not simply give my clients a few "psychological tricks" to deal with their anger or help them to better "suppress" it. But rather, I try to help them recover their ability to be happy in the midst of whatever is going on (and with whomever) in their lives.

Considered alone, the symptoms of the disorder are easy to dismiss: a commuter flipping off a fellow driver in a traffic jam, a basketball player charging the stands during an NBA game, the guy I saw a few rows back screaming at the hot-dog vendor because he had no mustard left. But there's more behind an IED diagnosis than a few isolated acts of rage. "If you're blowing up a couple of times a week, you probably have the disorder," says Emil Coccaro, M.D., a leading anger researcher at the University of Chicago. "The average person shouldn't be having arguments and temper tantrums."

You can gain nothing from being angry all the time. Take the time to reflect what it takes to be always happy in spite any pressure. Being angry will result to sickness of all kinds like stress incontinence, prostate and incontinenceand adult incontinence
