Physical effects of anger
Anger starts in the mind triggers the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response. Other emotions that trigger this response include fear, excitement and anxiety. The adrenal glands flood the body with stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.The brain shunts blood away from the gut and towards the muscles, in preparation for physical exertion. Heart rate, blood pressure and respiration increase, the body temperature rises and the skin perspires. The mind is sharpened and focused.
Health problems with anger
The constant flood of stress chemicals and associated metabolic changes that go with ongoing unmanaged anger can eventually cause harm to many different systems of the body.
Some of the short and long-term health problems that have been linked to unmanaged anger include:
But where did it start? In the brain… actually what you fed the brain…
Lets look at spiked insulin and diabetes and other health risks… but lets look it from a diet soda perspective. When you drink a sugary drink it hits your digestive system and wham your brain spikes your insulin levels and a whole host of side affects physically….
But your brain is smart… no pun intended. Once your brain is trained, your body will dump insulin simply at the taste of a sweet taste… before it ever hits your stomach and is digested - ON TOP OF THAT…. now your brain will dump insulin when you taste sweet low cal or no cal ingredients. So you can drink a diet pop and your brain taste sweetness… and with no sugar or calories at all spike your blood sugar.
What am I talking about today… simply the power of your brain! What you need to understand is
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!”
But his heart is not with you.
Wether your brain is triggered by an emotion like anger, pride or fear… or it can be triggered by your taste buds… the point is that your internal operating system “your brain” is the key to how successfully you live your life physically and spiritually.
So next time you pick up your bible don’t simply look at it as a spiritual manual, but rather as a program for your mind which will impact your entire life.
