The Feel-Good Way to REVERSE Heart Disease
Having heart disease can feel like a never ending battle.
It seems like no matter how many of your favorite foods you give up… or how many extra steps you get in a week… it feels like you’re never safe from heart attack or stroke.
Of course, your mainstream doc is no help. He’ll only offer you risk statins that can make your health WORSE.
But I have a better way to REVERSE your heart problems… and even extend your life.
Plus, it might just help you find your new best friend, too.
Researchers from Sweden studied over 3 million adults for more than 12 years looking for patterns in the risk for heart disease. As they combed through a data, a surprising trend emerged.
People with DOGS had a lower risk of heart disease… and a lower risk of dying!
The benefits were especially great for single people.
In fact, single folks who owned a dog had an 11% reduced risk of having a heart attack—and a 33% reduced risk of death.
But not all breeds offer the same protection.
A closer look at the research revealed that people who owned hunting dogs—like terriers and retrievers—had the lowest rates of heart disease.
This is possibly because these dogs are more active, which tends to make their owners more active as well.
There are plenty of good reasons why your dog could help you live longer.
Dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. They have lower stress levels, and increased serotonin and dopamine levels.
Plus, dogs can also add purpose to your life—at a stage of life when you need it most—because they force you to take care of something other than yourself.
Whatever the reason, the evidence is in, and the results are clear: Having a furry friend is one of the best ways to live a long, happy life.
And I couldn’t think of a more enjoyable one, either.
