The positive effects that pets have on the life of holders have been proven over the years by various scientific researches.
Whether it is a dog, a cat or a horse, the mere presence of an animal can significantly improve both the quality of human life and health of it.
1. Dogs
Researches show that this helps their master to have normal values of blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. Also, owners of dogs live longer after having suffered a heart attack and do more exercise than people who do not have one.
“Dogs have a remarkable effect in terms of longevity and happiness of the people” think Dr. Marty Becker, author of The healing Power of Pets. “The mere touch of a dog is like a spa treatment. After only a minute or two the body releases substances such as dopamine and serotonin,” says the specialist. In all they added a remarkable way of dogs to detect cancer and to predict epileptic episodes.
2. Cats
“They can help their masters to release stress as much as dogs, just as studies in this direction are lower than those shown benefits from the growth of a dog” think Alan Beck, director The Center for Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine.
Also, another study conducted at the University of Minnesota has shown that people who have cats are subject to a risk with 40% more likely to die from a heart attack compared to people who have a cat.
3. A fish
An aquarium is the best alternative if you’re stressed or allergic to the hair of the dog or cat and you cannot take an animal with fur. “When you look at the aquarium with fishes is that when you are listening to music,” says Dr. Becker.
4. Birds
Like the fishes, such animals bring nature in your house, relaxing and having effect even energize upon. Not necessarily you need to buy a cage and keep them in the house, experts say. If you look in the yard, the effect on health is the same. Also, you can try a DVD version: it has been demonstrated that if a stressed man sees the images of birds, primates and fish, he lowers blood pressure.
5. Horses
“Winning control of a horse, an animal that is bigger than you, is that when you control the problems of life, “explains Dr. Becker. Therefore, these animals are used in many programs and therapies that help more categories of people: abused women, people with disabilities or who have problems with nutrition. “Riding help people fixed in wheelchair, giving them a feeling of freedom,” said Dr. Takashima.
