Approaching life in a more Zen way is much more important for heart health than we thought. A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association has shown that even small episodes of anger can create tension in blood vessels, hindering blood flow.
The study, conducted in real time, measured the immediate impact of negative emotions on heart health. Scientists monitored the blood flow and heart rate of 280 adults. Before the tests, the volunteers underwent examinations to determine whether or not they had heart problems.

The participants were divided into three groups: the first was challenged to remember an episode in which they felt angry; the second had to recall a sad day; and finally, the third was instructed to count to 100. This is how the study authors discovered that even the memory of a moment of anger was enough to cause changes in the volunteers' blood circulation, which entered a state called hyperemia.
"The most negative emotion for heart health is anger," says cardiologist Daichi Shimbo of Columbia University, the study's lead author. On the other hand, neutral and sad memories did not lead to significant changes in blood flow.
