Feelings of unfairness lead to increased coronary disease?

Posted on May 16th 2007 5:07PM by Brian White
If you regularly think the world is unfair (for whatever reasons), you may be developing a greater risk of heart problems, according to a report published in the Los Angeles Times.

Sound odd? It really isn't -- because the psychological distress which accompanies feelings of being treated unfairly may influence health in the long term, according to the report. I agree -- some things just aren't fair, but worrying or mulling over them does no good. Move on, I say.

So, do you feel victimized all the time as a result of being "treated unfairly?" If so, why? Coping methods to that line of thinking include drinking, overeating and smoking cigarettes. That's not a healthy recipe at all for good long-term health.
