If you're prone to losing your temper, just think about this: Being angry can make your lungs weaker. Many, actually all of us do experience a pinge of shortness of breath when our tempers flare. But we never think much. Well now it's all proved to be true. A survey measuring the lung capacity and rating the hostility of over 670 men over a period of 3 to 8 years has shown that the lung power of those exhibiting high levels of hostility had become significantly worse as compared to those with low ratings. When people get angry their body produces hormones which prepare it to fight. These release chemicals which can cause our bronchial tubes to inflame. The tubes then narrow and this is reason you may feel breathless when angry. However this type of lung damage is tiny compared to the one caused by smoking. Still long-term irreversible damage can occur. So if you hear some unpleasant words don't fly into a rage. Just wait for
sometime, take a deep breath and think whether it is really worth the damage.
