Owning a Pet Can Help with Memory Loss

Whether you've got a cat, dog, fish or parrot...you're in luck!

Having a pet bestie could boost your brain power! A new study shows it could delay memory loss and other kinds of cognitive decline, especially verbal memory like memorizing things. Studies say you it could be five years or more before you see results. There’s no clear answer from this research as to why but, previous studies have shown that animals can help you cut back on stress, which affects our brains ability to retain memory.
