5 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health
A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners
quite literally feel the love.
In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with
pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure
and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help
you get dates.
Allergy Fighters:A growing number of studies have suggested
that kids growing up in a home with “furred animals” will have less
risk of allergies and asthma.
Date Magnets:Dogs are great for making love connections.
Forget Internet matchmaking — a dog is a natural conversation
starter.
Dogs for the Aged:Walking a dog or just caring for a pet
— for elderly people who are able — can provide exercise and
companionship.
Good for Mind and Soul:Like any enjoyable activity, playing
with a dog can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine — nerve
transmitters that are known to have pleasurable and calming
properties.
Good for the Heart:Heart attack patients who have pets survive
longer than those without, according to several studies.
