1. Common reasons for getting angry in winter
First, people like to sit indoors with the heating on, and eating a lot of meat and spicy food is like "adding fuel to the fire", which makes the internal heat accumulate continuously.
Second, in terms of diet, people like to eat beef and mutton to keep out the cold in winter, such as hot pot, barbecue, instant-boiled mutton and so on, which are very popular winter delicacies. However, the beef and mutton itself is warm, plus spicy ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, and tonics such as cinnamon, ginger, medlar and angelica, which can be described as "dryness plus dryness". After eating, people are prone to accumulate heat in the body, which is not easy to emit, and it is easy to get angry.
Third, irregular working hours, insufficient rest at night and overwork are also important reasons for getting angry.
Fourth, the pressure is increasing at the end of the year, so many people will inevitably be irritable, anxious and easily get angry. "Fire" becomes "poisonous gas" if it can't be dispersed, which makes the body's immunity decline.
