Is cancer related to personality? A few days ago, online biography believed that type C personality is "Cancer personality", and C refers to the initials of English cancer, and this kind of people are often more prone to cancer. So, what are the characteristics of type C personality? Are you really more vulnerable to cancer? The reporter conducted an interview.
Personality may affect health.
Medical statistics show that people’s personality is closely related to their health. Psychology divides people’s personality into four types: A, B, C and D. Different personalities have their own susceptibility to diseases. Come and see which one you are.
Type A personality is a typical perfectionist, who usually dares to compete, has a short temper and a hot temper. Compared with Type A personality, Type B personality is more Buddhist, like to let nature take its course, not aggressive, tolerant and easy-going. Class C personality usually has the characteristics of depressed mood, sulking and resignation. Type d personality usually has serious internal friction, is prone to anxiety and tension, is not good at expressing and dealing with interpersonal relationships, and has no sense of security.
Yuan Yonggui, director of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, pointed out that because of the great emotional fluctuation of Class A personality and Class D personality, it is easier to get cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Type C personality, which often sulks and suppresses emotions, is associated with a variety of cancer risks, so it is also called cancer susceptibility personality.
Bad mood is the catalyst of cancer.
Why is Type C personality more susceptible to cancer? This is related to his personality characteristics-long-term suppression of anger and other bad emotions.
Zhao Yun, deputy director of the nursing department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, said that there is no necessary causal link between personality and cancer, but bad emotions are most likely the cause of cancer. Long-term suppression of bad emotions may lead to the reduction of the defense of the immune system, the destruction of the balance of hormones in the body, and unhealthy living habits. These changes will increase the risk of cancer.
Adjusting emotions in time is the key.
Although type C personality is more prone to cancer, personality is not the decisive factor of cancer. Experts suggest that C-type people should pay attention to timely adjusting their emotions, relieving stress and maintaining good mentality and living habits.
Type c personality can release stress in the following ways: vent their emotions in time. People with type C personality should learn to vent their emotions, and can’t always suppress their painful emotions in their hearts. Talking to others, keeping a diary and cultivating hobbies are all conducive to transferring stress and resolving bad emotions in time; Learn to reject others.
Type C personality is usually a "good guy" in life, and it is difficult to refuse other people’s requests even if they are unwilling to do so. This personality will aggravate self-friction. It is suggested that such people should listen to their own voices, respect their own ideas, and learn to refuse when facing other people’s requests; Insist on proper exercise.
