Research shows that owning a dog can have numerous health benefits. Dog owners tend to have fewer trips to the doctor, better sleep, and are less likely to be on heart medications. Living with a dog can also lead to improvements in general health, increased physical activity, and a reduction in minor health problems. Additionally, having a dog in the home may reduce the risk of allergies and asthma in children by influencing the development of the immune system. Dogs can also provide support and improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic pain. Furthermore, dog ownership is associated with lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Overall, the presence of dogs can have a positive impact on our physical and mental well-being. [Extracted from the article] |
