Are you a cat or dog person? While a dog may be a “Man’s Best Friend” owning a domestic feline may have its benefits! According to a study presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference owning a cat may lower one’s risk of dying from a heart attack.
Author Dr. Adnan Qureshi, executive director of the Minnesota Stroke Institute, says, “There isn’t enough evidence to recommend [owning a cat] as a standard practice. But the flip side is that unlike other medical interventions, which have a risk and a cost associated with it, this has minimal risk and isn’t as costly. There’s not much harm to it.”
So if you have been considering adopting a furry friend remember your heart my thank you now and again in the future for not only providing it companionship but also its longevity in this world!
Cheers!
