Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some burst with anger, and scream and yell(
咆
哮 ). But others keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought
that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person ’s
health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases
rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar
the same hormones( 荷尔蒙 ). They speed the heart
into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater
danger of high blood pressure.
