A glass of Sweet Orange Powerful Reduce Anger

Jakarta, Many ways can be done to quell the anger, such as listening to soft music with a rhythm or just draw a deep breath. There is also a way that is unique yet proven quite effective, ie, drinking a glass of sweet orange.

This method will not change someone to be really patient and forgiving, because at some point the anger that still will appear. But at least the mixture of sugar in the lemon juice to make the limits of patience more lenient than they should.

The key is not in orange juice but on a simple glucose or sugar in the drink. In the blood, glucose is sent also to the brain as a source of energy, among others, useful for controlling temperament and other negative emotions.


Lack of supply of sugar to the brain can cause uncontrolled negative emotions, thus becoming more aggressive and irritable. That is why, to some extent a sweetened iced with sugar can reduce the explosive anger.

Benefits of sweet orange drink is not just a theoretical expectations for the team from Ohio State University have proved it recently. Were 62 high school students involved in the experimental evidence led by Professor Brad Bushman of this.

Quoted from ScienceDaily, Thursday (12/02/2010), students were divided into 2 groups, each given a drink of orange juice equally given the sweetener. The difference is, one group using sugar-sweetened, while another group
using glucose-free artificial sweetener.

Once given a pause of about 6 minutes to give time for the absorption of sugar into the blood, all participants were asked to undergo a reaction test. Each mutual provocation with noises are deafening.

The group that received artificial sweeteners more easily provoked anger and started to look aggressively at a lower noise level. While those who drank orange juice with sugar-sweetened voice need more noisy and also a longer time before actually provoked his anger.

"These results once explain why people with impaired glucose metabolism tend to be more aggressive, such as diabetes. A lot of sugar in the blood, but so as not to disturbed metabolism of the brain," said Prof. Bushman.
