2,755 working men in Stockholm (the city, not the syndrome) were studied between 1992 and 1995. 47 of those in the study died from a heart attack or complications of heart disease. While the study considered the traditional factors, over age 41, high BP, high BMI, smoking, drinking and low physical activity, the primary focus was upon how the individuals dealt with anger.
Researchers concluded that those men who did not openly express their anger from conflict situations in the workplace and instead “bottled it up” had double the risk of death from heart disease.
According to a cardiac RN with the British Heart Foundation, “Stress itself is not a risk factor…but…responses to stress…” Indeed. Thought of the day.

I love your blog. It is a real treasure. I really hope you’re not offended but did you buy this theme and modify it? I am always looking to improve the design of my bullet proof vest site.
It’s a modified WordPress theme called Atahualpa. No offense taken.
