13.Have you ever wanted to be healthier?Get a pet!That is what the experts are saying.There are many advantages to owning a pet,no matter whether it is a cat,dog,or horse.Some new parents are often in a rush to get rid of their pets when a baby is expected.Yet,studies have shown that having a pet at home actually reduces a child's likelihood of developing certain kinds of diseases.In one study,a researcher studied 300new-born babies and tested them again a year later.He found that if they had a dog at home the children had up to 33% fewer allergies (过敏症).In addition,the children had stronger immune systems (免疫系统) when compared to the babies of homes with no pets.
In another study,researchers tested nearly 4,500people.They found that cat owners who spent time stroking (抚摸) their cats suffered 40% fewer heart attacks than those who did not own a cat.Some other studies also found that pet owners suffered less serious from depression (沮丧) than non-pet owners.
Horses have long been used in treatments for disabled people,both physically and mentally.Not only does the movement of the horse help people with physical problems,but the calming influence of the animals has a positive effect on them,too.Amazing changes have been noted in disabled people who are lucky enough to receive these treatments.
