Don’t Let Ire Get the Best of You!
January 5, 2015 by
Do you know what happens to your body when you lose your temper? You’re probably aware if your face turns red or your body trembles.
What you may not notice is that your muscles may also become tense, your breathing may speed up and your heart rate may quicken.
These changes can be hard on our bodies. Adults who have frequent angry outbursts tend to have more heart attacks than people who don’t get so angry.
What can you do to curb potentially harmful ire (see definition and hear pronunciation below)?
To stay cool, start by taking some deep breaths and counting to 10. Talking over the source of your anger with a friend may also help.
Just remember that whatever you’re feeling angry about is not worth the damage you may be doing to your body!
