The Fluffy Secret to Living a Longer, Healthier Life

The Fluffy Secret to Living a Longer, Healthier Life

There's something about unconditional love you get from a "fur baby."


If you’re a dog or cat owner, you likely don’t need clinical research studies to confirm what you already know: Your pet helps you feel better. Pets offer companionship and affection no matter what. They share love and joy (just think of the excitement when you throw the ball or wave a toy mouse). He can read your emotions and provide the support you need when life throws you a curveball.


You know when you're feeling down and your pet wanders over and lays its head on your lap... or hears your voice when you're excited and she starts wagging her tail?!


When you look into your pet’s eyes and feel a connection deeper than “where’s my dinner” and “hey lady, I need to go out”, you’re not imagining it.

But now, there’s a real science to support the idea that pets help us live happier, healthier lives.

Your Pet Helps Lower Your Stress and Boosts Your Confidence


A study published in the Journal of Research in Personality examined how pets influence our emotions, specifically, levels of self-confidence and how we handle stress. Pet owners in the study were divided into three groups – (1) a group without their pets nearby, (2) a group with their pets beside them, and (3) a group where owners were asked to just think about their pets during the study.


Participants were asked to write down their goals and rate how confident they felt about achieving them, the groups with their pets on their mind or close by listed out more goals and were more self-assured that they would reach them.


They repeated the experiment, this time giving the pet owners a stressful mental test while assessing their blood pressure (a biological measure of stress). Once again, participants who had their pets nearby or were thinking about their pets performed better than those without that connection.

Other Ways Pets Support Us

  1. They help our children’s development: A 2017 systematic review study of 22 research experiments demonstrated a positive relationship between pets and their impact on children’s loneliness, self-esteem, cognitive benefits, intellectual development, social interactions, networks, play, and behavior. That’s quite a case for welcoming a kitten or puppy into your family.

  2. They motivate us to get more exercise: Research suggests that people tend to get more physical activity when they own pets. Studies have also found links between pet ownership, increased activity, and improved mood, which is believed to be a part of the additional exercise but may also be related to pet ownership in and of itself. It’s also great for your pet to get out and be social.

  3. They improve our cardiovascular health (even beyond exercise): According to Harvard Medical School, some research suggests dog owners may have lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure. These findings were true regardless of smoking status, diet, or body mass index (BMI). 

  4. They help us feel our purpose: As any therapy animal owner will attest, pets provide us with companionship and love that help us feel connected with a sense of purpose.

  5. They satisfy our necessity for physical touch and love: It’s well known that

    humans need, and often crave, physical touch and love. After all, who isn’t made instantly calm by snuggling with a sweet fur baby? We now know that calm and content feelings actually go both ways! Pets need to feel our touch as much as we need to touch them. So keep calm and snuggle on!

  6. They keep us social: One stroll through the park is enough research you’ll need to prove that pets provide us with a common interest that helps us make new acquaintances and friends. Looking for a new friend? Take your dog out for an extra walk and see how many conversations you start and see how many conversations you’ll strike up!

So now that you understand the long-term health benefits of having a pet, maybe there’s room in your life, home and heart for a new fluffy companion. Unconditional love, warm feet under the covers at night and couch snuggles are just a few of the best benefits!

 

Chronic stress over time has been linked to health concerns, including hypertension, depression, and anxiety, hormone imbalances, skin concerns such as eczema and acne, weight challenges, and digestive issues like acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. 

 

With a loving pet, a nutrient-dense diet, and daily movement, you’re already building habits that support a healthier and happier life. We’re here to support you as you reset your health so you can #LiveAgeless.
