According to scientific research, keeping a dog at home can have a positive effect on human health and may reduce the risk of early death.
Medianews.az, citing "The Washington Post," reports that the risk of death in dog owners may be approximately 24% lower.
Studies show that the positive effect is particularly stronger in people with cardiovascular diseases. Experts state that regular walking and physical activity play a key role in this outcome.
Also, specialists from Harvard Medical School note that daily walks can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Researchers emphasize that the main benefit is not just having the animal, but actively engaging with it.
