Pets For A Longer Life!
Hoda Kotbe, the host of the 4th hour of the "Today show" is filling in
this week and doing the first 3 hours as well.
One subject Ms. Kotbe talked about is near and dear to her
heart, what was it?
Pet adoption!
She added a new 4-legged friend to her family, and if you decide
to adopt or buy a dog, it can help you live a long life.
Look below, and learn how a dog can extend your life...
a) A Healthier Heart-
Pets can lower your production of artery damaging stress hormones,
such as cortisol. And fewer damaging hormones means lower
blood pressure, and reduce your risk of having a heart attack.
b) Fewer Colds and Flu-
Yes, that's right- being exposed to animal hair and dander keeps
your immune system in great shape and that helps you fight the invading
viruses.
c) Less Stress-
Suffer from stress or anxiety? A pet can help calm you down and calm
your nervous system. A pet can lower anxiety by 25%.
Can you name a star who suffers from anxiety and owns cats?
Taylor Swift.
d) A Leaner Figure-
Not motivated to walk or spend time outdoors?
Get a dog and they'll lead you to their leash and that will result
in a slimmer waistline. Another benefit: Walking a dog on a leash
burns 75 more calories per hr. than walking alone.
And yes, playing on the floor with a cat also counts.
e) Benefit for Kids-
Concerned about your kids and allergies?
Well, you may have to get a pet. Why? regular exposure
to animal dander trains a child's immune system to stay calm
when harmless substances (like dander, dust and pollen) are in the air-
and to focus, instead of tackling the true troublemakers-like germs, bacteria
and fungi.
So, if you weren't sure whether you wanted a dog or not,
perhaps the information you just read will help change your mind.
It worked for Hoda Kotbe.
Good Luck!
