Pets give their owners a number of health benefits. There is still a lot of research to be done in this field, but scientists now agree on some of the reasons why pet owners live healthier lives.

Animals help after a heart attack<\/p>\n
Statistically, people who have suffered a heart attack and have a pet to pet have a better chance of recovery, regardless of how severe the heart attack was.<\/p>\n
Dogs make you slimmer<\/p>\n
Probably less surprising is the fact that dog owners are less prone to obesity as long as they walk their dog regularly. Daily exercise in the fresh air with the dog also inevitably leads to better mobility around the house.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Socialising with dogs<\/p>\n
When walking your dog, you meet people with their dogs and strike up a conversation. Social contact promotes mental and physical health.<\/p>\n
Pets make you compassionate<\/p>\n
A pet awakens the maternal instinct in people. People feel joy and pain with their pets and are equally able to share their own joy and pain with them. This begins in childhood, as children often turn to their pets to pour out their hearts. Pets are a good source of mutual compassion and care.<\/p>\n
Less stress due to pets<\/p>\n
Pets, especially dogs, cats and rabbits, help to reduce stress. Cuddling and stroking animals lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of depression. Physical contact with the animal causes the body to release stress-reducing hormones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
