10 minute de îmbrățișare a unei pisici. Ce se întâmplă în organismul stăpânului? • Newsweek România

A study from Tokyo University reveals that ten minutes spent with a cat can significantly affect a cat owner's heart rate and emotional state. Participants felt calmer after interacting with their cats, although their heart rates increased during the interaction. The research suggests that while the parasympathetic nervous system was less active, the contact with the cat stimulated the body temporarily. Further studies are needed to understand the long-term health effects of such interactions, as other animals also seem to positively influence mood in short durations.
