We know that emotions, stress and inflammation are inter-connected.
Dr Kubzansky and colleagues from Harvard School of Public Health tested the hypothesis that hostility contributes to faster rates of decline in lung respiratory function among older adults.
They reported their findings in a paper titled, "Angry breathing: a prospective study of hostility and lung function in the normative aging study" published in the journal Thorax 2006.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
These investigators demonstrated differences in baseline pulmonary function between persons with different levels of hostility. In addition, they found that lung function deteriorates at a faster rate in persons with chronic hostility and anger than in those who are cool, calm and collected.

This is an important finding to bear in mind on the anniversary of 9/11. Thousands of people especially at the World trade Center site as well as in and around New York were directly or indirectly impacted and have suffered emotional, physical and psychological injuries.
Many of them suffer from inhalation induced problems of pulmonary function. Therapy to help heal emotional and psychological wounds in such cases may be just as important as the treatment of their direct inhalation injuries.
Where were you on 9/11 and what were you doing at that tragic moment? What do you think about the practical applications advice in this note?
