Are you the type of person who gets easily angered, or seethes at the smallest annoyances? Well, epidemiological studies have suggested high levels of anger may increase the risk of coronary\u00a0heart disease<\/a>\u00a0(CHD). It has become apparent that people who are prone to\u00a0aggression<\/a>\u00a0or depression may be at higher risk for future\u00a0heart attack<\/a>\u00a0or stroke. Studies, such as one of over 5,000 Italians in Sardinia found that those who scored high for antagonistic traits like competitiveness and\u00a0aggression<\/a>\u00a0on a standard personality test had more thickening of their neck arteries compared with those who were more agreeable. People who have aggressively competitive traits release more Adrenaline. This is good initially as it sparks the \u2018fight or flight\u2019 response\u2026a necessary tool of human survival. However, in people with\u00a0aggressive<\/a>\u00a0traits this release goes into overdrive, and\/or continues for much longer periods of time than the usual stress responses. This \u2018over-exertion\u2019 of adrenaline, combined with the\u00a0stresses<\/a>\u00a0on the cardio and surrounding systems, continued for long periods of time, can result in the development of many risk factors for\u00a0cardiovascular disease<\/a>. On the flip side, calm, more agreeable people tend to only produce these \u2018stress factors\u2019 when their body really needs them, and only for that short period of time<\/p>\n

About the author<\/h3>\n

In 1998 Warren Matthews (a New Zealander) then 51 years of age reached a turning point in his life due to a number of \u2018interesting\u2019 experiences.If you would like to know more about these please go to Warren\u2019s blog for more background. Also as many people do when they reach 50 years of age he started becoming more aware of the generally poor health of others around him, both young and old. Friends would occasionally contract diseases, some terminal such as cancer, or die suddenly from heart attacks.Early in 2000 Xtend-Life Natural Products (Intl) Ltd went \u2018live\u2019 and made available to the public its first generation of Total Balance a highly sophisticated multi nutrient supplement (as opposed to a multi vitamin\/mineral supplement).Dr Munem now directs the Xtend-Life Research and Development Department and has become a close friend of Warren\u2019s. Since the first products were released in 2000 Xtend-Life has enjoyed a steady growth thanks to an ever increasing foundation of loyal customers who purchase products every month and refer their friends and family to Xtend-Life as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
