Improve your health, become a dog owner
Owning a dog is good for your mental and physical health.
Dr Deborah Wells found that dog owners have lower cholesterol and blood pressure, fewer minor physical ailments, and are less likely to develop serious medical problems.
In a paper published today by the British Psychological Society, she said "It is possible that dogs can directly promote our well being by buffering us from stress, one of the major risk factors associated with ill health. The ownership of a dog can also lead to increases in physical activity and facilitate the development of social contact, which may enhance both physiological and psychological human health in a more indirect manner."
She found that people who took dogs from animal rescue shelters noticed a decrease in minor ailments such as headaches, colds and dizziness .
