Scientists found out how the rate of aging of the brain is affected by the presence of a pet.

After a person reaches the age of sixty, the speed of information processing and decision-making naturally begins to decrease. However, according to the results of a study by scientists at the University of Michigan, this process slows down in those who live next to our smaller brothers.

In particular, the researchers concluded that daily “communication” with cats and dogs in itself over a long period of time, it contributes to the prevention of dementia in their owners.

At the same time, it is important to understand that this is not the only factor that prevents the deterioration of cognitive abilities. No less important is the way of life, nutrition that supplies the body with a sufficient amount of vitamins and trace elements, as well as the quantity and quality of physical activity.
