According to research, owning a pet, including cats, can reduce stress and increase owners’ sense of well-being. It has also been reported that cat owners in particular tend to have a lower risk of heart disease. A cat’s purring is thought to have a relaxing effect on humans, which may contribute to these positive health outcomes. However, this can vary depending on individual constitution and circumstances, so it does not necessarily apply to everyone.
Why does my head get an ice-cream headache when I eat something cold like shaved ice?
- My stomach is sending a warning signal.
- Because my body gets cold
- The brain is experiencing an illusion.
See the answer
When you put food in your mouth, it passes through the throat and heads to the stomach, but if you eat something extremely cold, the trigeminal nerve it passes through can mistake “cold” for “pain” and send that signal to the brain. That’s why this illusion happens. We all want to enjoy our food without that sharp, ice-cream headache, right?
Which of the following is effective for boosting immunity?
- High-calorie meal

Laughing makes you feel happy and good, doesn’t it? Serotonin, commonly known as the “happiness hormone,” is also released when you laugh. It activates natural killer cells and boosts your immune system. You don’t have to laugh out loud—just a normal smile is effective.
