Unexpectedly: Dog people get cancer 64% less often than other people. It's about the dog's microflora We all know that domestic dogs are real badasses. They help their owners cope with diabetes, asthma and problems with the cardiovascular system. Well, a fresh study published in the journal Nature a few days ago showed that they also save us from cancer! For 7 years, scientists collected information about cancer patients. And they got a huge base of 55 thousand people. All of them had survived cancer, successfully recovered from it and were now under the supervision of oncologists, but still remained at risk. After all, after defeating cancer, you need to cope with the consequences of harsh treatment, mental problems and the risk of relapse. The first five years of life are especially difficult. During this period, the chances of a new tumor appearing are highest, as is the risk of death from concomitant diseases. And this is where dogs come to the aid of doctors and patients. Statistical analysis showed that dog owners have a 64% lower chance of death in these 5 years than cat owners and people without pets! And all because by its very existence the dog does three useful things at once. First of all, it forces the owner to go for a walk at least a couple of times a day, which means sitting on his butt for exactly weeks and getting moldy will no longer be possible. Secondly, in exchange for care, she gives a person hormones of joy and a simple, but so necessary desire to live. And as you know, if the patient does not want to live, medicine is powerless. Well, the third reason is the most interesting. A dog living in the same house with you unwittingly shares its bacteria, the spores of which are released into the air with particles of saliva. But these invaders do not cause dysbiosis, ulcers or food poisoning in humans. It's the other way around - they make him stronger. Due to contact with the dog, the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract becomes richer and produces more complex organic substances. And many of them protect the intestines, stimulate the immune system, tired from a long struggle, and suppress chronic inflammation. So now scientists confirm: a dog at home is an extremely useful animal. It will make you move, give you free dopamine and make your inner world richer! And most importantly, it will save you from diseases and prolong your life. Well, hands in feet - and to the shelter?
