In the ancient Chinese medicine classic "Su Wen Lifting Pain", there is a sentence that makes people think deeply: "All diseases are born from qi." These few short words reveal the profound relationship between emotions and health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "qi" is not only the constituent substance of our body, but also the fundamental driving force to sustain life. The smoothness and balance of Qi is essential for our health.
It can really be "angry" out of illness!
Do you know? Strong emotions such as anger and anger can directly lead to the occurrence of a variety of diseases. Let's take a look at which diseases are "qi"!
Increased blood pressure
When angry, emotional agitation excites the sympathetic nerves, which in turn triggers a series of physiological responses that cause blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise. In the long run, high blood pressure may come to the door.
Angina pectoris
Being angry can cause a dramatic increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. For patients with coronary heart disease, this is undoubtedly worse, and it is easy to cause angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction.
Hyperthyroidism
Frequent anger and emotional instability can lead to thyroid secretion disorders. In the long run, excessive secretion of thyroid hormones will form hyperthyroidism, which will bring a lot of discomfort to the body.
Hurts the liver
When angry, the body secretes a substance called catecholamines. This substance acts on the central nervous system, causing an increase in blood sugar and an increase in the breakdown of fatty acids. This not only increases the burden on the liver, but may also lead to liver disease.
Hurt lungs
When angry, breathing becomes rapid and even hyperventilated. This causes the alveoli to expand and have no time to contract, affecting the normal function of the lungs. In the long run, the health of the lungs will be seriously threatened.
Breast disease
For women, getting angry is even more taboo. Long-term exposure to negative emotions such as anger and depression can inhibit ovulation in the ovaries, resulting in a decrease in progesterone and an increase in estrogen. This not only predisposes to breast hyperplasia, but may also induce breast cancer. At the same time, anger can also lead to irregular menstruation, aging of the face, and increased pigmentation in women.
Can you only endure it?
It's easy to get sick when you're angry, so can you just endure things when you encounter them? Of course not!
In fact, a moderate amount of anger can help express dissatisfaction, but the key is how to manage emotions properly. We often hear that "people live with one breath", which does not mean that we have to fight endlessly, but emphasizes that we should take care of our own "qi", so that we can be full of energy, breath smoothly, and avoid being hurt by "qi".
