Living with a Pet May be Beneficial for Gut Health

Research indicates that owning a dog can positively impact your gut health by increasing the diversity of your gut microbiome, which is linked to better overall health and a reduced risk of various diseases. A study from the University of Helsinki found that dog owners have a higher presence of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in their gut, which are known to support digestive health and boost the immune system. The study suggests that the regular interaction with dogs, including physical contact and shared environments, contributes to this microbial diversity. Additionally, dog owners tend to engage in more outdoor activities, further enhancing their exposure to diverse microbes that can benefit gut health.
