Edward Suarez of Duke University asked 121 healthy men and women to take personality tests and then tested their blood for a substance called C-reactive protein (CRP).
CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Higher levels of inflammation are thought to increase the risk for a variety of health problems. Evidence suggested that people with high levels of CRP are more prone to heart attacks and stroke!
Here's the key to all this information: the subjects in the Duke University test who scored the highest on the tests for anger, hostility, and depression had CR(a)P levels two to three times higher than those who scored low, as reported in the journal of Psychosomatic Medicine. People who are angry or depressed are less healthy!
That doesn't surprise us! It makes perfect sense since we already know that people who are happy and take themselves lightly are more healthy. We're also more successful and have better relationships. We experience less pain. Let's face it, we lead better lives.
