That’s Why the Dog Does Us Good!

The hormone oxytocin is crucial for our well-being. If we ensure that the hormone is released in our bodies, we gain lots of good health effects.

Oxytocin is the hormone that can make us look brighter in our lives. Among other things, it is calming and reduces anxiety, lowers our blood pressure, and improves our sleep.

Positive Body Contact

We ourselves can help trigger our own production through body contact that we experience as positive. Anyone who gets a bit of hug and touches in their life can get the beneficial oxytocin by, for example, having a warm and good dog in their lap.

A Warm Dog Body

Feeling a dog’s body weight and being able to stroke the warm body do us good. Listening to calm music at the same time further increases the dose of the peace and quiet hormone.
