Have you found that mood swings such as anxiety, depression, anger and depression can bring about some subtle physical changes?
The World Health Organization points out that when people have negative emotions, more than 70 percent of people digest them by attacking their own body organs.
A new Danish study involving 9870 adults over an 11-year period since 2000 found:
Compared with people who had no corresponding problems, the mortality rate of people who often had emotional distress due to marital relationship doubled.
The death rate of people who are often anxious about parent-child relationship increases by 50%.
The death rate doubled for those who quarreled with their families and tripled for those who quarreled with their neighbors.
Stress makes people emotional, and the body sends out alarm signals.
