Do you have someone in your family you always butt heads with? No matter what’s being discussed – or what the situation is – they find a reason to get mad. Clinical psychiatrist Dr. Mark Goulston says what they have is called “impotent rage.”

It’s anger that results from feeling powerless. They feel like they don’t have control over their life, so they lash out at whoever is around. Or they feel they were dealt a bad hand in life – so they take out their feelings of frustration on others. So how can you deal with them? Listen to them. Really try and understand what they’re saying and rephrase it back to them. Once they feel like they’ve been heard, they’ll calm down. Because it makes them feel they’re being treated fairly.

Stress can make us hungry!

Have you ever felt hungry after an argument? Research in the journal Psychological Science found the more stress we feel, the higher our levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin! And when we’re stressed, we tend to reach for sugary, high-fat treats, which drastically raises our risk for depression and weight gain. The good news? Researchers say just KNOWING this can happen can boost our health. Because while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we have on hand. That way, you’ll be less likely to blow your diet after your next blowup argument.

What triples the risk of a heart attack?

Having a knockdown, drag-out fight with someone, and then trying to blow off steam by going for a run or punching a heavy bag. New research from McMaster University shows, intense anger coupled with heavy physical exertion can be what triggers a first heart attack. The new research looked at more than 12,000 people, and intense activity and intense emotions each double the odds of having a heart attack within an hour. But if you’re really ticked off AND you exert yourself, your risk triples.

And if you’re thinking – “Well, I’m not a smoker, I don’t have high blood pressure and I’m not overweight” – it doesn’t matter; the risk is the same regardless. So, if you go mental on someone, don’t try to burn off your excess energy by mountain biking. Take calming breaths and do some yoga instead. You’ll increase your chances of settling whatever argument you had, instead of meeting your maker.

A recent study in the journal Psychological Science found a direct link between our relationship stress and an appetite-regulating hormone called ghrelin. Basically, the more stress we feel, the hungrier we get! And unfortunately, lots of studies have shown that when we’re stressed out, we’re more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar treats, than something healthy… which significantly raises our risk for weight gain and depression. The good news? Researchers say just KNOWING about this reaction can help us stay healthy. Because while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we keep on hand. So, stock up on more fruits and vegetables, or Greek yogurt, than chips and ice cream! That way, you’re less likely to blow your diet the next time you and your partner argue.

Research in Psychological Science found that as our stress levels rise, our body produces more of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin, which boosts hunger. And lots of studies have shown when we’re stressed out, we’re more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar treats, than something healthy…… which significantly raises our risk for weight gain and depression. And while we can’t change how our body reacts to stress, we can change the foods we keep on hand. So, stock up on more vegetables and Greek yogurt, instead of chips and ice cream!

Don’t get mad…let it go.

If someone upsets you – you have two choices: You can either fly off the handle – or let it go. Here’s why researchers say you should let it go…

•In a recent study, people who frequently fought or became enraged had double the risk of death from all causes.

•Meanwhile, letting things go is linked with better blood flow and a more efficient heartbeat.

That’s not to say that an occasional argument is going to kill you. But turning the other cheek may ultimately make you healthier.
