How Can Cats Reduce Stress and Improve Moods?
Cats Make Us Healthier
We are learning about increasing ways cats can improve our health and well-being. For example, do you know just 15 to 30 minutes of quality time with a cat can calm your nerves and boost your mood? There's even chemical evidence. When you spend time with a cat, your production of serotonin, a chemical that boosts feelings of well-being, goes up, and your cortisol levels go down. Cortisol, along with high blood pressure, is a result of stress, and can lead to high cholesterol and hypertension. This means that spending time with a cat can keep you healthier in the long run. Luckily, boosting your mood and lowering your stress levels can be as simple as interacting with a cat.
