All about how doggos help human health!

Release Date: 11/03/2023

Description: Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network&nbsp;Show Name:&nbsp;Hyperfixation NationEpisode Title:&nbsp;The Impact of Dogs on Human HealthEpisode #3You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake.In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation the Podcast we discuss the impact that dogs have on human health. I will cover the impact on mental health and physical health, and the science behind it.&nbsp;Segment 1: Introduction of impacts of doggos!&nbsp;First a quick overview, one person can have different experiences with different hyperfixations (like me), dogs are absolutely amazing and cute and they are scientifically proven to help human health, both physical and mental. The main reason for all of this is because serotonin stabilizes moods, helps with digestion and motivation, and social connections. There are other chemicals that help but serotonin has the biggest impact.Segment 2: My journey with this hyperfixation and how I learned this informationOk so I learned all of this information because last year for school we had to choose a researchable topic to write a 10 page paper and do a presentation on and I absolutely love these cute little puppers, and the not so little cute puppers, so I chose this as my topic. As you can imagine, I learned a lot about it and I thought this information was really interesting so I wanted to share. This hyperfixation was different from all of my other hyperfixations because I was stressed to complete it since it was a school project. I know that it is a hyperfixation because before I did this project, I wrote many CER’s (Claim evidence reasoning science papers) and filled up notebooks to try and convince my parents to get me a dog. I would go on walks with my parents just so that I could talk to them about dogs and they couldn’t leave (they didn’t know this was the motivation lol).&nbsp;The anxiety of a due dateThe pressure of other people in my class being farther alongThe hours of doing homework (looking for cute pictures of doggos for my poster board and researching)The happy chemicals I got from doing this battling the anxiety of startingSegment 3: The impact on human mental health of dogsRegular pet dogsSerotoninSleepAnxiety/depression/illnesses caused by lowered serotoninAdhdMood stabilizationTherapy dogsSame effects as regular pet dogs plus more<span...
