Hello my Friends!! (*´∀｀)
In the previous post, i had the pleasure of introducing my pet and encouraging them to adopt; if and only yes, they had the disposition and availability - time & money - to take care of them.
In my case I adopted a male cat and which I called Kiro.
I love kittens; and by adopting them, we improve their lifestyles, they also bring us certain benefits for our physical and psychological health. Among them we have the following:
Less chance of developing asthma and allergies; therefore, children who live with cats develop an immunological tolerance to them.
They are a constant source of company and at the same time they are of great emotional support in those difficult times. They help us in moments of sadness, anguish and depression, that with their attention and purrs comfort us and help cope with negative emotions.
Studies that support this information have been carried out indicating the following:
In the III Analysis of the link between people and cats it was found that in particular, 67% of the owners affirmed that their cat was a great emotional support in difficult moments. And more than 80% revealed that they did not feel alone with their kitten's company.
- Mental health in good shape, since caressing them causes a sensation of relaxation that helps relieve stress and reduce the negative symptoms of states of psychological distress.
In research focused on a population with some psychological ailment such as depression, it was clearly observed that the interaction with a cat diminished the negative symptoms of psychological distress.
Lower cardiovascular risk, the owners of the cats (given the interaction with them), tend to have lower levels of blood pressure and triglycerides, which leads to a better response of the heart to moments of stress. This was recognized by the "American Hearth Association" in 2013.
Speaking in figures:
... People with cats have a 30% to 40% lower risk of heart attacks, compared to people who do not. This is based on a study carried out with the participation of 4500 people and was carried out at the Stroke Institute of the University of Minnesota, USA in 2008.
This implies that in general, improves the physical and mental state of their owners.
It repairs the bones, product of the purrs emitted by the cats with a frequency located between 25 - 50 Hz.
Heals the wounds, the vibrations produced by their purrs help to heal tendons and muscles in the event of tearing and other similar trauma.
Reduces pain and inflammation, the purring of the kittens and their contact with the area of your body that presents the lesion, greatly relieves pain, swelling and may even cure infections.
It should be noted that man has found that the purrs emitted by cats are characterized by having a sound frequency that oscillates between 20 - 140 Hz, and that the frequencies of 50 Hz and 90 Hz, are used by all felines to heal, strengthen and give yourself well-being; promoting in this way, the strengthening of bones, heart health,healing of wounds, reduction of muscular and articular inflammations, as well as, decrease in levels of anxiety and stress.
