Answer2: Anger-prone people [are] almost three times more likely to have a heart attack than those who are slow to become angry," says a report in the Globe and Mail newspaper. Nearly 13,000 people took part in a six-year Heart disease risk assessment. All participants were free of heart disease at the start of the study. Each person was asked a series of questions and rated as to whether he or she had a low, medium, or high anger index. Over the six-year period, 256 had heart attacks. The study revealed that those with the moderate rating were 35 percent more likely to have heart problems. The leading author of the study, Dr. Janice Williams of the University of North Carolina, says: "Anger could potentially lead to heart attacks, especially among middle-aged men and women with normal blood pressure." Therefore, the researchers recommended that anger-prone people should consider using stress-management techniques.

To reduce anger, slow down and relax. Try to avoid saying the first thing that comes to mind. If you feel yourself getting overly excited and feel you are in danger of losing control of your emotions, apply the Bible's counsel: "The beginning of contention is as one letting out waters; so before the quarrel has burst forth, take your leave."-Proverbs 17:14.

A calm heart is the life of the fleshly organism." (Proverbs 14:30) Applying this basic Bible truth can improve one's emotional, physical, and spiritual health. To reduce anger, slow down and relax. Start by learning simple relaxation methods, which help to reduce feelings of anger. The following techniques have proved to be effective in combating stress-related anger:

● Breathing deeply, which is one of the best-and fastest-ways to reduce the intensity of your anger.

● While breathing deeply, repeating a word or phrase that is calming to you, such as "relax," "let it go," or "take it easy."

● Immersing yourself in something you enjoy-perhaps reading, listening to music, gardening, or some other type of activity you find relaxing.

● Getting regular exercise and eating a healthful diet.

You may not be able completely to avoid the people or the things that act as anger triggers, but you can learn to control your reactions to them. This involves changing the way you think.

People with very high expectations tend to have greater problems with anger. Why? Because when someone or something does not measure up to their high standards, disappointment and anger quickly follow. To combat this perfectionist mentality, it is good to keep in mind that "there is not a righteous man, not even one . . . All men have deflected, all of them." (Romans 3:10, 12) Therefore, we set ourselves up for a sense of failure if we think that we or anyone else can be perfect. With God's help and prayer, anyone can learn to control his anger.
