Did you know that keeping pets at home could help to reduce stress, improve our quality life and thus reduce the aging process? Sounds unbelievable? Oh yes, there may be some truth in it according to surveys and research done by medical and health experts.
Some experts believe the benefit of keeping a pet is more than of emotional rather than physical aspects. Regardless, our emotional wellbeing is important and has direct impact upon our health.
It was reported that singles tend to live a happier and enriching life if they keep pets at home. Some pets make good companionship in life. Unlike your spouse, pets don’t shout or rattle at you. Pets are good listener but unable to advice unfortunately, not a big shortcoming though since most of us prefers a sympathetic ear rather than advice when we are in bad mood. Couples are also known to have lower heart rate and blood pressure if they keep pets at home.
Owning a pet reduces the number of visits to the doctor, prolongs survival after a heart attack, and wards off depression, says James Serpell, PhD, director of the Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society at the University of Pennsylvania. (His family has a cat, a dog, a large green iguana, a bearded dragon, and a dozen fish.)
