The magic of pets

-

 These furry friends increase your physical and emotional well-being.

Having a pet doesn’t just mean fun. Research has shown that living with an animal can give us greater overall happiness, reduce our stress, motivate us to exercise more and improve our quality of life.


Many people adopt pets to have company. After all, animals offer us unconditional loyalty. Money can’t buy that special feeling of getting home and that the dog shakes his tail when he sees it, or that the cat curls up on his lap and purrs placidly. These daily joys remind us that we should take things more calmly in our busy and stressful life.

Studies indicate that pets can even lower high blood pressure and stabilize blood cholesterol levels, as well as reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Animal owners go to medical consultations up to 15 percent less than people who do not have pets.

Surveys conducted by the University of Western Australia reveal that more than 70 percent of pet owners say that they never or very rarely feel alone, and the chances of reaching the recommended level of physical activity per week increase; dog owners added 55 minutes more total physical activity per week than people who did not have dogs.

In addition, having a pet could well be the solution to reduce the stress of modern life, teaches our children to be disciplined and brings us closer to our community: people talk more to you when you have a dog.

While skeptics may question its validity, astrology offers individuals a valuable means of understanding themselves, their emotions, and their relationships with others. In this article, we explore how astrology can serve as a catalyst for self-awareness and personal development. One of the primary benefits of astrology lies in its ability to shed light on an individual's personality traits, strengths, and challenges.
