Whether you have an anger disorder or admit to be an adrenalin junkie, you know that our “fight or flight” response is wired into us to address perceived threats for your very existence. When we feel in danger, our brain emits hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol that speed up the heart rate and breathing, providing us with a burst of power to either flee or fight for our life.

This intense state of nervous arousal was beneficial while we were living in the caves and has retained its relative usefulness in today\’s world. The fight-or-flight reaction enables us to make split-second conclusions in extremely hazardous scenarios. For example, you’re cruising on the interstate with your boom box blasting on and all of a sudden you notice some disco lights right behind you that extremely resemble that of a cop car. You glance at the speedometer and are flabbergasted to learn you’re oozing at a 90 MPH… in a 55 MPH zone. Your heart rate is up; adrenaline is kicking in, now what? Do you scramble or halt and fight? Of course you what the wise choice is but you also notice how the stress and maybe even anger has taken over your body.

For you it’s a rare event but for some people with anger disorders this feeling can accompany them almost an enter day. Problem is, there\’s natural trade-off for this state of ultra-preparedness. In order to enhance the hormonal system, the physique depresses other systems, like the immune system. Only our bodies are not fashioned to function in a chronic state of imbalance. Anytime anger too often dominates our emotions, our system goes through a debilitating strain. When the body’s immune system is weakened due to anxiety, we can feel “used up” and become susceptible to numerous diseases.

Researches that tested people with chronic anger disorders found that a lot of emotional negativity can strain the cardiovascular system. Under pressure, one\’s heart rate increases, restricting blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. Huge quantities of glucose are released into the blood vessels, resulting in more fat globules in the bloodstream and making for a perfect storm for a cardiac arrest. Research has clearly demonstrated a direct relationship between chronic anger and heart related illnesses.

Its been long known that our mind and body, brain and feelings are intricately linked and influenced by our mindset and overall outlook on life. Scientists say our mindset could actually help control numerous emotional and physical issues; everything from bladder control to better stamina in bed, from panic to depression, etc.

Toxic emotions result in toxicity in the system and yes, it can make our hearts corrode and age much faster. The good news is that our choices, thoughts and actions can influence our ability to control anger. While it may not be as easy as flipping a switch and more like trying to lose a cop with disco lights in your rear view mirror, it is possible to nevertheless be able to replace our reactions to complex and aggravating situations by applying time tested anger management techniques.

A good working knowledge on how the brain, emotions and entire body are connected, rather than separate systems, is always the first thing to ridding yourself from toxic anger disorders and negative effects that they might have on your life. Be well!
