　　2012年12月19日雅思阅读精选：养狗有利于身体健康

　　Dog-owners lead healthier lives

　　If you want to live a healthier life get a dog, research suggests.

Dogs can provide companionship

　　The companionship offered by many pets is thought to be good for you, but the benefits of owning a dog outstrip those of cat owners, the study says.

　　A psychologist from Queens University, Belfast, said dog owners tended to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

　　Writing in the British Journal of Health Psychology, she says that regular walkies may partly explain the difference.

　　Dr Deborah Wells reviewed dozens of earlier research papers which looked at the health benefits of pet ownership.

　　In some cases, the social support offered by an animal is greater than the support than another human could offer.
