Health programs
of

1.ゴロゴロ療法

Cats are not just cute and furry companions, they can also be good for your health.
Scientists have found that a cat's purr reduces stress levels and lowers blood pressure, also make positive feelings, gives your immune system a boost.
It also says that the frequency of a cat's purr, between 20 and 140 Hertz, can facilitate bone density and healing.

The “sweet spot” is usually at the end of the back. Then cat may start purring.
When cat relaxing against the Mt. Fuji wall, it will be unique atmosphere.

2.モフモフ療法

Mofu mofu ryohou is that makes healthy mind by touching and staring cats.
Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers have found.
The finding was the main result of a 10 years study of more than 4,000 Americans by researchers at the University of Minnesota's Stroke Institute in Minneapolis.
The point is, we assume that it would be likely to keep in shape if regally have “Cat Spa”!
Also We, humans, are social animals; oxytocin affects us to have less stress and maintain healthy social relationships. And a cat promotes oxytocin in human by just cuddling, touching. Even better, just looking at cats would promote oxytocin production in us.
How amazing to be able to trust and be gentle to others by stroking a cat?
