Scientists advise not to restrain emotions

Emotional people often spit out accumulated emotions, it is hard for them to keep something inside themselves and to experience grief or joy silently. When you look at a joyful person who does not hide his fun and good mood, it seems that there is one continuous positive around.

But what about negative emotions? Where to put them, if the heart is hard, and do not want to spoil people's mood. Usually, most people think that a bad mood and those experiences that are sharp from the inside should be carefully concealed and not displayed in public, following the elementary rules of etiquette. Some people do it. Someone may not show their state because of the belief that it is inappropriate to show other people their troubles and experiences, and someone just shy to "load" them with their loved ones, colleagues and friends.

But, as it turns out, such silent people only undermine their own health.

Researchers from the University of Jena, Germany, argue that people who "bury" in themselves all the negative harm themselves. Particularly affected are those who constantly act this way, for various reasons, suppressing their own emotions and restraining the explosion of the volcano boiling passions.

If you believe scientists, constant deterrence, anger or discontent leads to increased blood pressure and increased heart rate, and this is a direct path to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Compared to those who are not accustomed to loudly express their emotions, people who, in grief and in joy give their feelings to go outside, live on average two years longer.

Experts say that compared with excitable people who emit emotions quickly calmed down, in restrained "crackers" the frequency of cardiac contractions (tachycardia) remains elevated for a long time. As a result, the risk of coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, kidney disease and even cancer diseases increases.

The authors of the study over a period of ten years observed a group of patients of the university clinic, the number of which was 6,000 people, and on this basis came to the above results.

But not everything is so bad, and even those people who hold emotions and feelings in their mittens can rival with too excited and hot. Experts have established that self-control masters are afraid of even illnesses, because compared to emotional people, they recover much faster. Scientists note that basically this trend is traced in infectious diseases.

According to the lead author of the study, Professor Marcus Mund, the habit of constantly controlling emotions and the iron internal discipline allows the owner of such characteristics to adapt to the regime with ease, which is important in the course of the disease. In addition, such people usually strictly adhere to the prescriptions of the doctor and perform all the necessary procedures for a speedy recovery.
