No, anger does not burn fat; in fact, chronic anger may contribute to weight gain.
While short-term hormonal fluctuations due to anger might affect appetite and metabolism, the long-term effects are detrimental. According to research, sustained anger can lead to hormonal imbalances that encourage fat accumulation. The constant release of stress hormones from persistent irritation disrupts normal metabolic processes.
