A dog is a unique pet with which you can build a strong and reliable relationship.
However, animals can offer us more than just friendship; as it turns out, a pet dog also has a powerful influence on the health of its owner.
What facts many people don't know
Reduce stress levels
Experts believe that nervous tension often becomes the cause of the development of many diseases and generally has a negative impact on the functioning of the entire body.
If you get a dog, you will change your attitude towards stress.
Depression
Many people of mature and elderly age face loneliness. It is especially difficult for those who live without family and loved ones.
Loneliness can trigger a number of health problems. Most often, lonely people are predisposed to Alzheimer's disease.
A dog can become a real close friend. Thus, the probability of developing a terrible disease will be significantly reduced.
Heart
Statistics show that cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of sudden death.
Positive emotions and long stays in the fresh air reduce the risk of developing the problem. It is the dog that "forces" us to go for walks and gives us pleasant emotions.
