Physical and Mental Benefits of Pet Ownership
Research has shown that spending time with an animal increases your quality of life in many ways. Petting your dog or cat can lower blood pressure, increase the likelihood that you’ll survive a heart attack, and it’s been shown that pet owners have lower cholesterol than people without pets – a statistic that holds true even when adjusted for pre-existing obesity and smoking. Dogs will also help you get off the couch (sometimes when you might not want to) to go for a walk. Walking a dog gets you outside, raises your heart rate, and can even have social benefits. People love talking to other people that they see with their animals. It’s possible to form new friendships, or even romantic relationships, just because you have a pet!
Your pets also provide you companionship in an increasingly lonely world. If you’re returning home after a long day of work, a cat or dog waiting at the door will always lift your spirit and make you realize how important it is for you to have someone to take care of. As human beings, one of our natural instincts is to care for others, and a pet needs your care unconditionally.
So the next time you visit our health shop online to buy nutritional supplements that you need, make sure to order something that will put a silly grin on your pet’s face, because it’ll put a grin on yours, too.
