Petting Zoo - Visiting Farm Animals

Recent studies have suggested that the presence of animals can be beneficial to human health.

For example, animals can reduce minor health problems, improve well-being, reduce depression, improve physical fitness and cardiovascular health, and provide social support.

For the elderly in nursing homes or assisted living residences who are often lonely, depressed, in poor health, and have a feeling of uselessness, animals play a special role. Along with other benefits, animals provide comfort, acceptance, independence, social interaction, and communication, and they can give elderly people a sense of responsibility and a greater will to live.
