Aquariums Can Help With Stress & Anxiety

Learn how an aquarium and keeping fish can be beneficial to your health.
Did you know, though, that aside from acting as a unique and colorful addition to your home or office, recent research also shows that keeping fish is beneficial for your health?

According to “Interacting with Fish, Human Animal Interaction (HAI)”, published, in part, by Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition and Mars, Incorporated – a new scientific publication exploring the effects of fish keeping on human health – fish keeping is correlated with reduced blood pressure and decreased stress levels. Watching fish can also provide relaxation benefits to those who suffer from anxiety and can calm children with hyperactivity disorder. There is even research that shows aquariums may improve the unpredictable and disruptive behavior of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Overall, a fish tank’s calming effects on all who view it are extremely beneficial and can even aid in getting a better night’s sleep.  With so many health benefits to owning an aquarium, it’s no wonder that so many people have taken up the fish keeping hobby in the last few years! A home or office aquarium will greatly enhance any personal space and will add a unique twist to the surrounding environment. Set up your fish tank today, and reap the benefits of this exciting form of “living art.” The AQUARIAN brand is here to help you every step of the way!
