Get angry, get hurt

As we all know, people often do things they normaly wouldn't when they are mad. But did you know that research has shown that anger can significantly increase your chances of having a serious injury, especially among men.

People who describe themselves as 'irritable' have a 30% risk for getting injured, while those who are felling hostile are doubling the risk of injury. The interesting thing is that anger is usually not associated with any kind of traffic accident. But there is a correlation between anger and sports injuries and assaults.

So next time when you are irritated by circumstances, hold your horses! Anger can be dangerous.
