Dear HCCUA Members:
Multiple studies have shown that being a pet owner can dramatically help improve your health. After all, pets can provide us with many therapeutic benefits.
First, research shows that pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression compared to those without pets. Second, people with pets show signs of lower blood pressure in stressful situations. Next, playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine that work to calm and relax the brain. Fourth, pet owners have lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels than those without pets. Fifth, pets aid development in children, especially emotionally.
