5 Reasons Why : Dogs
Five reasons why having a dog is a really good thing...
1. Dogs increase your mood!
Spending just 5 minutes with a dog will help you feel more calm and relaxed, and it will reduce stress and increase happiness. Not only this, but playing with a dog increases your brain’s levels of dopamine and serotonin, both neurotransmitters associated with pleasure and tranquility. So if you struggle with a mood disorder or are just feeling a little stressed, finding a dog to play with will seriously help you!
2. Dogs make you laugh
Having a dog is a constant laugh, you literally will never have a week where your dog does something that won't make you laugh hysterically.
3. Dogs will get you fit
The amount of walking and playing with your dog is a commitment everyone understands. But it's beneficial to us too, a half an hour walk burns up to 300 calories.
4. Having a dog helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Studies have shown that talking to and petting your dogs helps to lower human blood pressure.
5. Dogs will stay with you forever
Dogs won't leave you alone. Seriously. No matter where you go they'll follow you because they just love you that much. They can easily sense changes in our emotions, which makes them perfect for when you're feeling down.
