The Benefits Of Having Pets In Home

November 12, 2013 by Tricia

Being a pet owner comes with a lot of responsibility. However, there are a number of benefits that can be reaped from owning a pet. Below are some of the ways that you can benefit from owning a pet:

Reduce The Risk Of Allergies, Asthma And Eczema

Allergies occur when the body produces antibodies that cause inflammation. If the inflammation occurs in the airways, then asthma develops. Eczema occurs when inflammation develops in the skin. Many people with children are reluctant to get pets because of allergies. However, studies have shown that children who are exposed to pets during infancy are less likely to have allergic reactions in adulthood. Scientists believe that early exposure to allergens help desensitizes the immune system to them.

Reduced Blood Pressure

Studies have shown that simply owning a pet can help reduce blood pressure. Researchers have also shown that owning a cat or dog can reduce the blood pressure response to mental stress. The hypertension medication was not able to do that.

Stronger Heart

People who own a pet are less likely to die one year after a heart attack. There was a study done that compared non-pet owners to pet owners. The pet owners had a one percent chance of dying within a year of their heart attack, and the non-pet owners had a seven percent chance of dying.

Improved Fitness

Fitness experts recommend that people get at least 150 minutes of physical activity in per week for optimal health. People who own pets are much more likely to meet that requirement. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that dog owners were 34 percent more likely to get the recommended amount of physical activity. Dog owners walk an average of 19 more minutes per week.

Lower Your Cholesterol

A pet can help lower your cholesterol. In fact, they can potentially help lower your cholesterol by five points. Researchers do not know exactly how pets lower your cholesterol. However, they do believe that pet owners are more likely to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Improve Mood

Not only are pets good for physical health, but they are also good for emotional health. People who won pets are more laid back, and they laugh more. That is why pets are often recommended for soldiers who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Soldiers who own pets have an easier time entering back into society. They also are less likely to commit suicide.

How To Protect Your Pet’s Health In House

Many people think that mold does not affect their pet’s health. On the contrary, mold can have a negative effect on a dog or cat’s health. Pets are likely to experience the same allergy symptoms that humans experience, such as ear infections, runny nose and sneezing. They may also experience increased anxiety.

The good news is that there are several things that you can do to protect your pets from mold. You should call in a professional service and have them inspect your home for mold. You should also consider using a dehumidifier in your home because that can help prevent mold growth. You can control outdoor mold growth by keeping your lawn cut. However, you should try to keep your pets in the home as much as possible.

Why Has Red Hair Become So Popular?

November 11, 2013 by Tricia

If there’s been one trend in hair fashion that’s been growing bigger and bigger, it’s having red hair. Thousands of women, and even men too, have been dying their hair colour to a much brighter shade of red and even the red heads have been wearing their natural hair colour proudly. Red is the new black, or so it seems.

But why is it that so many people have been replacing their blonde and brown dyes for the red shades? What is it about red hair that makes it so fashionable right now? There are many reasons and some maybe not as obvious as you might think.

Red Hot Style

The most glaringly obvious reason why so many people are going red is the influence of celebrities.Rhianna With Red Hair Famous people are taste makers and trend setters and their adoring fans follow in their footsteps to try and achieve just a little bit of their glamorous look for themselves. Attractive and influential actresses and musicians have dyed their hair red or shown off their natural colour, inspiring women to do the same. Rihanna, Hayley Williams, Emma Stone – these are just a few names from a long list of ladies that have shown red hair can be fabulous. These women appear in style magazines and on blogs where their gorgeous red hair is seen by millions and the line of the publications is that red is the hottest colour right now, so you should follow suit.

There may be more subtle and psychological reasons though why red has grown to be such a beloved colour. The colour red in itself signifies many different things. One thing it signifies is heat. The colour red gives the impression of warmth and hotness, and it has this same effect when applied to hair. Red hair makes you look sexy and appealing with the warmth of the colour subtly letting everyone know you’re an attractive person. Red can also signify fire and red hair can let everyone know you have a fiery personality, in both the negative and positive sense. Fiery red can make you appear confident and assured of yourself, giving you a boost of self-esteem.

The Red Attraction

Rhianna With Red HairPeople are naturally drawn to the colour red for all kinds of reasons, and it’s something many of us can’t help because it’s instinctual. Bright red grabs your attention. Red can signify danger or harm as blood is red, so is fire, and anything red in the animal kingdom can be poisonous. The colour red has been used in advertising, for signs and in propaganda. One of the most popular colours on flags and in team sports is red, purely because it makes them stand out. The same can be said for red hair – bright red draws the attention of onlookers more so than plain shades like brown or black.

The increasing sea of red heads might have something to do with the exclusivity of it though. Apart from ginger or reddish brown hair, bright red isn’t a natural colour. This means that those with red hair are special and possess an uncommon look. It’s slightly rebellious to have bright red hair as many people aren’t daring enough to tamper with their natural hair colour. Being different is also a highly valued quality, especially when so many people look the same and are expected to conform.

When you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising red has become such a popular hair colour. Red is highly fashionable, it’s a sign of confidence and of a fiery personality. It’s unique and it makes you stand out from the crowd. Red most certainly is the new black and its highly fashionable style will probably grow even more popular as time goes on. So the next time you decide to reinvent your hairstyle, perhaps you’ll consider the colour red for all the reasons listed above.
