Passage 2You’re late for a job interview when traffic slows to a crawl. At the supermarket, a customer wheeling a full cart cuts ahead of you in the check-out line. You spend months on a make-it or break-it project, and your lazy colleague lands the promotion. Feel that burned? Before you explode with rage or fly into a fury, take a deep breath and remember this: Anger hurts. Study after study has found that high levels of anger and hostility are associated with greater risk for heart disease, poor immune responses, and even a tendency for obesity. Men with high anger scores were three times more likely to develop heart disease than their calmer companions, a Harvard School of Public Health study found. And in women, arguments with spouses raise hormone levels and lower immunity-a real problem, since lower immune response may increase women’s risk of cancer. It doesn’t seem to matter whether you release the anger or hold it in, experts say. The effects on your health are the same. “Anger is anger,” says Redford Williams, M.D, director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University Medical Center and co-author of the book Life Skills. “Both are harmful to health.”The good news is, it is possible to control your anger. “By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it,” Williams says, “That’s what’s nice about us humans: We can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”
