Leashes and Lovers: Fido + an Apple a Day

Since “Mom” may not be able to be at your side when you’re feeling under the weather, guess who can help? Yes, it’s Fido to the rescue and not just when you’re sick! Here’s how your dog lifts your spirits and you may not even realize it.

Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos says her dogs, including her “healing Poodle” are at her bedside any time she’s sick. Why are dogs such great furry medics?

First, dogs make us laugh – so laugh! The big benefit to laughing is it helps you look younger (I love that!) Because, while laughing, your facial muscles are working out which increases the blood flow around your face!

Secondly, you’ve got to play! Playing with your dog (or any dog) can lead to: reduced risk of heart disease, decreased stress, lower blood pressure, a boosted immune system, reduce blood sugar levels, a natural painkiller and anti-depressant.

So what’s stopping you? It’s not just an apple a day…but Fido everyday to help you get out and play!
