Seniors Who Owned Pets Visited Doctor Less Frequently
The research is clear: owning a pet can lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress, and ease depression and loneliness. In one study, seniors who owned pets visited the doctor less frequently than their non pet owning counterparts.
Beyond the academic studies, pets are simply good companions. They love us no matter what we look like, what kind of mood we’re in, or what kind of day we’ve had. They think we’re wonderful even if we’ve gained ten pounds or haven’t dusted the living room for a month.
On the other side of the coin, owning a pet requires a commitment of your time, energy, and money. Being a good pet owner takes some knowledge and planning.
