Megha**, 28, mingles in a social circle, where the majority enjoy owning a pet. In her case, she has nothing against getting one, but the idea of having a dog, cat or even a fish seems like a huge responsibility. While this may be the case for many, the possibility of having a pet reducing stress may just be too good to pass up! Although there aren’t many indepth findings on animal-human interactions, you can find research confirming the stressbusting factor. Apart from this, you’ll also find pet owners going on about how tension disappears with their four-legged buddies around them. Here is a glimpse of how the pet culture can improve anything related to stress.
Improves Your Mood
It’s quite impossible to be in a bad mood when a cute puppy is trying to play with you or running its furry paw over your hand. According to the general human-animal bond research*, positive human-animal interaction will change the physiological state in both animals and humans by increasing the stress-reducing hormone (oxytocin) levels in the brain and reducing the formation of the stress hormone, cortisol. Therefore, with controlled stress levels, it’s easier to chill out and be in a better mood. It’s the best way to relax, especially when your spa appointment gets cancelled!
