A new study claims that
church attendance is
good for your health;
those who attend services experience less
stress and enjoy longer lives.
Vanderbilt University professor and Baptist
minister Marino Bruce spearheaded the study,
alongside Keith Norris, a professor at the David
Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Bruce said, “We found in our study that actually
attending church is actually good for your
health, particularly for those who are between
the ages of 40 and 65.”
He continued, “For those who did not attend
church at all, they were twice as likely to die
prematurely than those who did who attended
church at some point over the last year.”
According to the research, middle-aged adults
who attend a church, synagogue, mosque, or
other house of worship reduce their mortality
rate by 55 perfect. This data was gathered from
5,449 participants of both sexes and all races.
The research might suggest that there is a
connection between spiritual health and
biological outcomes.
