How Playing Nice Kills You

1. X does something that annoys the !@^%$^*&%^$@^%^ out of you.
2. You play Mr./Mrs. Nice.
3. You mention nothing.

According to Stockholm University's Constanze Leineweber study, men are two to five times as likely to die from heart attacks/disease by stifling their emotions:

• "Men who consistently failed to express their resentment over conflicts with a fellow worker or supervisor were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack or die of heart disease as those who vented their anger."

(The study said woman cope better than men, so the Leineweber's team couldn't conclude anything.)

BAM:

1. Vent frustrations.
2. Live better.

Express yo-self.
