Other than this, pets will also benefit from physical health benefits. Read these points below to learn more about how pets can improve your health.
For one thing, healthy people are more likely to get a dog. “It may be simply that healthier people are the ones that have pets, not that having a pet actually leads to or causes reduction in cardiovascular risk,” Dr. Glenn Levine, professor at Baylor College of Medicine and member of the committee that wrote the AHA statement, said in a news release. Pets may be an incentive to have a healthy heart. They’re driving you to get out of your house for walks, workout and games. This results in lower blood pressure than most pet-free individuals.
The American Humane Association and the Delta Society are organizations that provide animal-assisted recovery services for people suffering from depression and other mental illnesses. Owning a fuzzy pet will help to provide a lot of emotional and physical benefits.
The best way to cheer a person suffering from mental illness is to give them one of these fuzzy animals. Dogs do require walks and free space for there development and so do you. If you have a dog u need to take him out at least two times a day . This would benefit you as well since you too would walk regularly without fail (conditions applied though might be you be cruel and not take him out) and trust me walking does great benefits to diabetic and heart patients .
Dogs being playful and loving tend to reduce your stress greatly. They tend to make u loose all your worries stress and sadness. Even nowadays many MNC have a separate area for keeping dogs where there employees could spend time with them .

Stress Busters – Looking at that happy face greeting you after a tired and mundane day at work is truly a stress buster for many. Petting your dog or a cat can lower your blood pressure levels and also helps release a relaxation hormone called Oxycontin which is known to cut down stress levels dramatically.
There is scientific evidence that lowers your blood pressure, reduces your anxiety and improves your overall health, particularly if you have a working dog that needs 3 hours of exercise every day.
Not only that, they boost your immune response by increasing your sensitivity to non-harmful bacteria.
Prevent Allergies in Children – Believe it or not, but pets actually help prevent allergies in children. According to recent studies, children who grow up with pets establish a high immunity and are at a lower risk of developing asthma and eczema.
Dogs help prevent loneliness and isolation, as well, which is key in staving off cognitive decline and disease. “It helps us to not just focus on our needs,” says Joubert. “It gives us a reason to really get up in the morning. ‘I need to get up and take care of my friend here.’”
They are excellent for both your mental/emotional and physical well being. Caring about another living being brings a sense of duty to the receiver. Walking a dog a few times a day is a successful aerobic exercise. Through loving pets, we need to improve our willingness, capability and depth of love to learn to value and love all life at all times, including our own selves. We can enjoy all the benefits that love can bestow on us, including health benefits, by loving the pet and growing love for all life.
