Talking to your pet is actually good for your health?!

Talking to your pet is not wacky; it's good for your health By  Jayne O'Donnell, USA Today, adapted by Newsela staff 05/27/2019 In the article "Talking to your pet is not wacky; it's good for your health" written by Jayne O'Donnell, Newsela staff talks about how talking to your animals isn't as wacky and weird as some people think it is. I read today on how some people actually buy animals for health reasons, I learned that being lonely is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarets a day. Nancy Gee says that showing a picture of your dog to other people, also telling your animals how your day was and what’s wrong is actually very normal and healthy. It’s also easier because you aren’t gettin judged for your beliefs, your problems, and friendship issues. A great gift that animals teach us is that we can be loved and our animals will love us unconditionally. I think this article is very important because it shows the rea...

Companies hope consumers take a bite out of cell-cultured meat https://newsela.com/read/cell-cultured-meat/id/51776/ In the article, "Companies Hope Consumers Take a Bite Out of Cell-Cultured Meat" by Washington Post, talks about how scientists are creating meat from muscle tissue growth in labs.  In the article scientists are trying to create meat from inside factories with muscle tissue.

The magic of llamas: Furry friends help stressed university students relax In the article " The magic of llamas: Furry friends help stressed university  students   relax," Matthew Cantor suggests that llamas can help reduce stress before exams. At Berkeley university they have a "llama social" every year before finals because it lowers stress. Several students who were interviewed said that being around the llamas reduced stress and made them much less worried about exams. Even with all the excitement around them the llamas still seemed very calm and that helped the people who were interacting with them to stay calm as well. As strange as this may seem researchers say that the best way to reduce stress is by using a "llama greeting." This means to go up to the llama nose to nose and breathe the same air. That may sound weird and slightly gross but the students who actually did this were reporting lower stress levels in the days leading up to f...
