I recently had a terrible disagreement with someone and everytime I think about it I start shaking and my heart starts pounding from adrenaline, which according to Google is unhealthy. But our hearts are accelerated when exercising, which is supposed to be a good thing – so what is the difference?
In: Biology
The heart beating fast is exercising it, so let’s compare it to normal exercise.
Say you have an overweight gentleman who never excercise and you force him to fun a couple miles by, say, having an angry bear chase him. Or insert whatever thing that will force him to fun. He will be barely able to breath, might just drop to the ground unable to move, and if he does make it the whole way will be so stiff and sore that he might not be able to move properly for days.
Anger/anxiety is like that. You are exercising a system and pushing it far past is it used to withstanding.. Things are going to start to break down.
Now take the same person and have him start running every day. He’s still running right? But he can gradually ramp up, get stronger, and soon he can run the same distance with ease and no ill effects.
Raising the heart during exercsie is excercsising the heart as well as the body, training it and making it stronger. It’s not the same as just suddenly pushing it way beyond what it’s used to all at once.
