 This emotion promotes the release of stress hormones, which can harm heart health over time. Anger isn't just an unpleasant emotion, it can negatively affect your health. Damaging effects While anger can serve as a warning signal and motivate us to do something, it often involves a sense of hostility towards someone or something that has caused us trouble. If anger is experienced too often, intensely or too long, or if it seems a disproportionate event that has caused it, it can have adverse effects on our well-being and health.

While this stress reaction has evolved to protect us, most everyday situations (like traffic jams or minor conflicts) do not require such high energy leve

 Stress can make a break in our eating habits. When we talk about the connection between mind and body, we talk about the relationship between our psychological and physical health. It is widely known that emotions and thoughts can have a significant impact on our body. One area where this connection is particularly evident is a man's relationship with food. Food for comfort and emotional overeating are examples of how mindset and emotion sometimes shape our eating habits.

When it comes to a certain kind of stress, the brain needs more energy than usual, so then it borrows it from the gut.

Drinking tea carries a variety of benefits: from reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering blood pressure, strengthening immunity, to helping with weight loss, but it is also often written that hot tea can cool us in the summer, and scientists have checked whether it's a myth or a truth. Chemist and explorer Dr. Tim Bond says a hot tea-like beverage can really cool us off during a hot day, and that this is the reason he is drinking heavily in India. Research suggests that under conditions that allow full sweat evaporation the body temperature after consuming hot tea decreases more than after consuming a cold drink, he explained.

The reason is probably a change in heat sensors in the esophagus and stomach; namely nerves in our mouth and u
