Owning a pet has health benefits, especially for Seniors…50% fewer health problems! Brant shares how hanging out with pets can zap stress and drop cholesterol levels, according to Aussie scientists. Plus, having a pet can dial down blood pressure, amp up your exercise routine, and even reduce allergies in kiddos raised with critters.
Sherri acknowledges the usefulness of this information, marking a departure from the norm.

Brant:
Thank you for listening. So before we got interrupted there, we were going to do breaking Animal news. I try to keep people appraised, apprised, excuse me, of the animal news that is breaking, and this is really good news. You should have a pet. Have a dog because pets will save your life in so many ways. One way they say, according to Australian researchers, dog or cat owners have lower cholesterol levels because just laughing and playing with your animal fights daily stress. Pets lower your blood pressure according to another study, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blood pressure dropped an impressive 50%. You stay fit because you do a little more activity. Maybe walking dog, they help you with allergies. Kids who are raised around pets have fewer allergies as they grow up. People with pets make fewer trips to the doctor than non-pet owners. Especially true of seniors who afford as much as 50% fewer health problems only a month after adopting a cat or a dog.
