Arguing with family & friends may contribute to increased risk of death. Yes, really. The mechanism here is unknown, though I could propose a mechanism: psychosocial stress increases inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream and in the central nervous system, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as immune-mediated diseases like autoimmune conditions and possibly even cancer. Working through disagreements in important relationships is critical to long-term health. So today, on Mothers Day, forgive your Mom for something, and seek to heal a damaged relationship by setting aside your pride and hurt and reaching out instead of lashing out or being defensive. Time heals wounds eventually, but forgiveness heals them so much faster. sciencedaily/releases/2014/05/140508192502.htm
