Benefits of Having a Pet at home

-

Keeping animals can bring many benefits, both from a psychological and health perspective. This positive effect can be felt by anyone, both adults and children, as well as those who suffer from certain diseases.



The following are some of the benefits of owning a pet:
1, Boost immunity
Having a pet is known to strengthen the immune system. Better immunity can also be formed in children who grow up in a home environment with pets.
Recent research has also revealed that toddlers raised in homes with pets are at lower risk of developing allergies, asthma, and eczema.
However, some people may not be suitable or allergic to animal hair. If you or a family member has these allergies, consult your doctor first before you want to raise animals.


2.Relieve stress
Playing with pets can make you happy and forget for a moment the problems that exist. This is due to an increase in the hormones dopamine and serotonin in the brain when you feel happy. Thus, the stress experienced will subside.
In addition, raising animals can also overcome loneliness which can increase the risk of psychological disorders, such as depression, especially for those of you who live alone.


3. To Supporting children development
Keeping animals can foster a sense of empathy, responsibility, imagination, and emotional closeness of children to animals. Not only that, interacting with pets can even help children who have learning difficulties to be more focused and calm.
However, parents should of course always take care of their child when he interacts with pets to prevent injury or the risk of being bitten by an animal.

4. Accompanying and caring for the elderly
A study states that elderly people with Alzheimer's disease will feel more relaxed, happy, and entertained when they have pets at home.

5.  Encouraging to be more active
Keeping or playing with pets can also motivate you to exercise more regularly and be more active. This activity is the right alternative if you are reluctant to exercise.
Playing ball with the cat, walking the dog, or cleaning the fish pond can be both fun and healthy activities.

6. Improve the ability to interact
Pets are known to show empathy and affection for those around them, especially those who care for them. In fact, a study states that pets can support children with autism to interact better with their surroundings.
