長(cháng)期生氣遠比你想象得更傷身！研究：會(huì )傷害腸胃、大腦

生氣遠比你想象得更傷身。 你可能不知道，憤怒會(huì )導致便秘、胃痛、腹脹，增加心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險，甚至會(huì )損害大腦認知功能。 Getting angry doesn’t just hurt our mental health, it’s also damaging to our hearts, brains and gastrointestinal systems, according to doctors and recent research. Of course, it’s a normal emotion that everyone feels—few of us stay serene when a driver cuts us off or a boss makes us stay late. But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems.
醫生和最近的研究都指出，憤怒不僅會(huì )影響心理健康，還會(huì )傷害心臟、大腦和腸胃系統。當然，憤怒是一種人人都會(huì )有的正常情緒，當司機強行超車(chē)或者老板讓我們加班的時(shí)候，很少有人能保持完全的平靜。但是，經(jīng)常發(fā)火或者生氣的時(shí)間太長(cháng)都會(huì )帶來(lái)健康問(wèn)題。There are ways to keep your anger from doing too much damage. Techniques like meditation can help, as can learning to express your anger in healthier ways.
有很多方法可以控制憤怒，避免它對你造成太大傷害。冥想之類(lèi)的放松技巧可以起到幫助，學(xué)會(huì )更健康地表達憤怒情緒也很重要。One recent study looked at anger’s effects on the heart. It found that anger can raise the risk of heart attacks because it impairs the functioning of blood vessels, according to a May study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
最近的一項研究調查了憤怒對心臟的影響。研究發(fā)現，憤怒會(huì )增加心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險，因為它會(huì )損害血管的功能。該研究發(fā)表在5月份的《美國心臟病學(xué)會(huì )雜志》上。Researchers examined the impact of three different emotions on the heart: anger, anxiety and sadness. One participant group did a task that made them angry, another did a task that made them anxious, while a third did an exercise designed to induce sadness.
研究人員檢測了三種不同情緒（憤怒、焦慮和悲傷）對心臟的影響。參與者被分成三組，分別執行會(huì )誘發(fā)憤怒、焦慮和悲傷情緒的任務(wù)。The scientists then tested the functioning of the blood vessels in each participant, using a blood pressure cuff to squeeze and release the blood flow in the arm. Those in the angry group had worse blood flow than those in the others; their blood vessels didn’t dilate as much.
然后，科學(xué)家用血壓計通過(guò)擠壓和釋放手臂的血流來(lái)測量每位參與者的血管功能。結果顯示，憤怒組的血液流動(dòng)比其他兩組更差，他們的血管擴張力更差。"We speculate over time if you’re getting these chronic insults to your arteries because you get angry a lot, that will leave you at risk for having heart disease,” says Dr. Daichi Shimbo, a professor of medicine at Columbia University and lead author of the study.
該研究的主要作者、哥倫比亞大學(xué)醫學(xué)教授新保大地（音譯）博士推測：“如果經(jīng)常生氣，導致血管長(cháng)期受損，就會(huì )增加患心臟病的風(fēng)險。”憤怒會(huì )擾亂你的腸胃系統
Doctors are also gaining a better understanding of how anger affects your GI system.
醫生們也逐漸了解了憤怒如何影響腸胃系統。When someone becomes angry, the body produces numerous proteins and hormones that increase inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can raise your risk of many diseases.
人生氣時(shí)，身體會(huì )產(chǎn)生大量的蛋白質(zhì)和激素，增加體內的炎癥。慢性炎癥會(huì )增加患許多疾病的風(fēng)險。The body’s sympathetic nervous system—or “fight or flight” system—is also activated, which shunts blood away from the gut to major muscles, says Stephen Lupe, director of behavioral medicine at the Cleveland Clinic’s department of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. This slows down movement in the GI tract, which can lead to problems like constipation.
克利夫蘭診所胃腸病科、肝病科和營(yíng)養科的行為醫學(xué)主任斯蒂芬·盧皮解釋說(shuō)，憤怒會(huì )激活身體的交感神經(jīng)系統，也就是“戰斗或逃跑”系統，這會(huì )導致血液從腸道流向主要肌肉。這會(huì )減緩胃腸道的運動(dòng)，從而導致便秘等問(wèn)題。In addition, the space in between cells in the lining of the intestines opens up, which allows more food and waste to go in those gaps, creating more inflammation that can fuel symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating or constipation.
此外，腸道內襯細胞之間的間隙會(huì )擴大，允許更多的食物和廢物進(jìn)入這些間隙，從而產(chǎn)生更多的炎癥，并引發(fā)胃痛、腹脹或便秘等癥狀。憤怒會(huì )損害你的大腦功能
Anger can harm our cognitive functioning, says Joyce Tam, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. It involves the nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex, the front area of our brain that can affect attention, cognitive control and our ability to regulate emotions.
芝加哥拉什大學(xué)醫學(xué)中心精神病學(xué)和行為科學(xué)助理教授喬伊斯·塔姆說(shuō)，憤怒會(huì )損害我們的認知功能。它會(huì )影響大腦前額葉的神經(jīng)細胞，前額葉是大腦的前面區域，負責注意力、認知控制和調節情緒的能力。Anger can trigger the body to release stress hormones into the bloodstream. High levels of stress hormones can damage nerve cells in the brain’s prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, says Tam.
塔姆博士說(shuō)，憤怒會(huì )促使身體向血液中釋放壓力荷爾蒙。高水平的壓力荷爾蒙會(huì )損害大腦前額葉和海馬體的神經(jīng)細胞。Damage in the prefrontal cortex can affect decision-making, attention and executive function, she adds. 她補充說(shuō)，前額葉受損會(huì )影響決策能力、注意力和執行功能。 The hippocampus, meanwhile, is the main part of the brain used in memory. So when neurons are damaged, that can disrupt the ability to learn and retain information, says Tam. 海馬體是大腦中主要負責記憶的部分，因此神經(jīng)元受損會(huì )破壞學(xué)習和保留信息的能力。 如何控制憤怒
First, figure out if you’re angry too much or too often. There’s no hard and fast rule. But you may have cause for concern if you’re angry for more days than not, or for large portions of the day, says Antonia Seligowski, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who studies the brain-heart connection.
首先，要弄清楚你是否經(jīng)常生氣或生氣的時(shí)間太長(cháng)。沒(méi)有嚴格的標準，但研究大腦和心臟之間聯(lián)系的馬薩諸塞州總醫院和哈佛醫學(xué)院精神病學(xué)助理教授安東尼婭·賽麗戈烏斯基博士指出，如果你經(jīng)常感到憤怒，或者每天有很大一部分時(shí)間都在生氣，那就需要注意了。Getting mad briefly is different than experiencing chronic anger, she says.
賽麗戈烏斯基博士說(shuō)，偶爾生氣和經(jīng)常生氣是不同的。"If you have an angry conversation every now and again or you get upset every now and again, that’s within the normal human experience,” she says. “When a negative emotion is prolonged, when you’re really having a lot more of it and maybe more intensely, that’s where it’s bad for your health.”
她說(shuō)：“偶爾進(jìn)行一次激烈的對話(huà)，或者偶爾感到不高興，這都是正常的人類(lèi)經(jīng)歷。但是，當負面情緒持續很長(cháng)一段時(shí)間，或者憤怒的頻率和強度都明顯增加時(shí)，就會(huì )對健康產(chǎn)生負面影響。”Her group is looking at whether mental-health treatments, like certain types of talk therapy or breathing exercises, may also be able to improve some of the physical problems caused by anger.
賽麗戈烏斯基博士的研究小組正在調查心理健康治療方法（例如某些類(lèi)型的談話(huà)療法或呼吸練習）是否也能改善憤怒引起的某些身體問(wèn)題。Other doctors recommend anger-management strategies. Hypnosis, meditation and mindfulness can help, says the Cleveland Clinic’s Lupe. So too can changing the way you respond to anger.
克利夫蘭診所的盧皮博士推薦憤怒管理策略。他認為，催眠、冥想和正念練習可以起到幫助。改變應對憤怒的方式也很重要。Slow down your reactions. Try to notice how you feel and slow down your response, and then learn to express it. You also want to make sure you’re not suppressing the feeling, as that can backfire and exacerbate the emotion.
盧皮博士建議：“放慢你的反應速度。試著(zhù)覺(jué)察自己的感受，慢一點(diǎn)再做出反應，然后學(xué)會(huì )表達你的感受。同時(shí)，也要確保你沒(méi)有壓抑憤怒，因為壓抑會(huì )適得其反，加劇憤怒情緒。”Instead of yelling at a family member when you’re angry or slamming something down, say, “I am angry because X, Y and Z, and therefore I don’t feel like eating with you or I need a hug or support,” suggests Lupe.
“當你生氣的時(shí)候，不要對家人大喊大叫或者摔東西。你可以說(shuō)，‘我因為……而生氣，所以現在不想和你一起吃飯，或者我需要一個(gè)擁抱或支持。’”"Slow the process down,” he says.
盧皮博士強調：“放慢這個(gè)過(guò)程。”編輯：陳丹妮 李雪晴 來(lái)源：華爾街日報 本文章轉載自中國日報雙語(yǔ)新聞，已獲授權 Unitrans世聯(lián)翻譯公司在您身邊,離您近的翻譯公司,心貼心的專(zhuān)業(yè)服務(wù),專(zhuān)業(yè)的全球語(yǔ)言翻譯與信息解決方案供應商,專(zhuān)業(yè)翻譯機構品牌。無(wú)論在本地,國內還是海外,我們的專(zhuān)業(yè)、星級體貼服務(wù)，為您的事業(yè)加速！專(zhuān)業(yè)翻譯公司,北京翻譯公司,上海翻譯公司,英文翻譯,日文翻譯,韓語(yǔ)翻譯,翻譯公司排行榜,翻譯公司收費價(jià)格表,翻譯公司收費標準,翻譯公司北京,翻譯公司上海。- 上一篇：《譯講堂》“絲路行·走進(jìn)寧夏”專(zhuān)場(chǎng)活動(dòng)在寧夏大學(xué)舉辦
