Recently, a news item “Why Cancer Likes Type C Personality Most” appeared in the trending search.
Mainly speaking: According to the existing survey data, up to 76% of patients with malignant tumors have bad emotions, or they cannot properly vent their emotions.
Experts believe that people who are easy to get angry in life, or who are always in a depressed mood, or who cannot extricate themselves in a state of anxiety for a long time, are prone to cancer.
And this type of person is a type C personality, also known as a cancer personality.
Is cancer really determined by personality?
In fact, cancer is not only a physical disease, but also related to social and psychological factors.
If a person is in a bad mood such as depression, anxiety, depression, etc. for a long time, it will naturally lead to a series of physical discomfort symptoms, such as being unable to eat, sleep and so on.
Naturally, compared with ordinary people, the physical condition of such people also declines.
There is no conclusive scientific evidence for so-called cancer character p>
As early as 1990-2003, researchers at Tohoku University in Japan had followed a 13-year period, studying more than 50,000 people, trying to find the relationship between different personality traits and different types of cancer, but they did not No correlation data found.
In 1980-2010, researchers from Sweden and Finland also used a 30-year survey of 60,000 people and found that personality was not associated with overall cancer risk.
Which characters are likely to cause cancer?
While there is no clear causal relationship between personality and cancer incidence, certain traits may increase or decrease low cancer risk.
And researchers found that this type of personality may have a risk of cancer:
First, long-term negative emotional state
People are social animals and can usually digest their negative emotions in communication.
In daily life, people will inevitably encounter unpleasant and uncomfortable things. At this time, if a person digests it silently, it may cause internal injury to oneself, thereby increasing the risk of cancer.
Second, it is normal to be in a state of excessive mental stress for a long time
It is normal for people to be a little nervous and anxious. Mortgage, work and other reasons make me in a state of anxiety and tension for a long time, and I can’t solve it all the time, which will make people in a state of high mental tension.
Third, those who endure their temper deliberately
< p>From a psychological point of view, a person who can restrain his temper by himself is first of all a person with strong self-control ability, but restraining his temper for a long time can only cause internal injuries.
In addition, this kind of person will hold back any bad or bad things and take it all to heart.
Fourth, like people who are too serious
This is easier to get into the horns when doing things, but if you do everything you like to be more serious If you do, you can easily make yourself annoyed.
Let oneself mentally and psychologically be in a state of tension for a long time, which is not good for healthy development in the long run, and it is also very easy to suffer from tumor diseases.
Of course, these are only theoretical indications that cancer and personality may have certain characteristics, which only increase the risk of cancer relatively, not a decision.
There is no so-called cancer character, and there is no good or bad character
All in all, there is no good or bad personality. It does not mean that introverted and melancholy people will definitely get cancer, while cheerful and extroverted people will definitely not get cancer.
In itself cancer is the product of a combination of factors, not just a personality.
So, don’t believe the so-called personality tests on the Internet, don’t judge yourself as having a bad personality just because you have done a few questions, and don’t label yourself or others as “cancer personality”.
Of course, people who have been in deep negative emotions for a long time must learn to self-regulate in real life .
It is suggested that they use different methods to channel their negative psychology and gradually calm down.
Learn to vent your unbalanced psychology reasonably, you can choose to listen to some light music, and use beautiful music to relieve your anxiety.Inner;
At the same time, you can also choose strenuous exercise such as exercise and mountain climbing, and use some aerobic exercise to relieve the psychological inability to calm down or to be anxious and panic.
In addition, you should also pay attention to your eating habits and sleeping habits every day to reduce the occurrence of staying up late and avoid affecting the metabolism of the entire system of the human body due to poor sleep.
Work hard to regulate your emotions and spend every day happily!
After all, the most important thing in life is to be happy, right?
