Vent, Live Longer

Expressing Anger Can Add Two Years to Person's Lifespan : Healthy Living : Medical Daily

A new study revealed that being hot-tempered and expressing your anger could be a key to enjoying a long and healthy life.

Researchers Marcus Mund and Kristin Mitte at the University of Jena in Germany claim that the latest findings may explain why the hotheaded Italians and Spanish live almost two years longer than the cool English who "keep calm and carry on".

They found that exhibiting self-restraint and holding back negative emotions could have serious repercussions for a person's physical and mental well-being.

After analyzing more than 6,000 patients, Mund and Mitte found that people who internalized their anxiety suffered from an elevated pulse.
Researchers say that over time, 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.
The new study, published in the journal Health Psychologies, reveals that a group of so-called "repressors" are particularly at risk.

In a married setting, however, there is a weirder twist:

If a wife keeps things to herself she risks worse health but if she offloads them onto hubby she puts his health at risk; lose-lose situation right there.


I saw it in a similar study, years ago.

That is why women live longer. I have witnessed that the bad treatment of husbands get exponentially worse after the kids grow up and move out of the house., quickening the man's trip to the grave. And we won't even get into menopause
