Ladies, if you want to live longer, and reduce your risk of depression and irritable bowel syndrome – don’t keep your lips zipped when you’re fighting with your partner. Chronic disease expert Dr. Elaine Eaker conducted a 10-year study. And she found that women who forced themselves to keep their mouths shut during arguments were 4 times more likely to die during the study – compared to women who expressed themselves freely. That’s because swallowing your anger, frustration and disappointment can lead to chronic stress – which can trigger everything from high blood pressure, to heart disease, strokes, and even cancer.
