Want To Live Longer?
Do you want to live longer? This next week we will be discussing ways to look and feel younger; but don't you want to not only look younger, but actually live longer? I know I do. Well, did you know that by going to church on a regular basis actually helps you live longer? The following is an interesting study to support my views. 1. Active church members have a 60% less chance of a heart attack. 2. Active church members have a 55% less chance of a one-car accident. 3. Active church members live an average of 5.7 years longer. 4. While only 30% of highly unchurched say they are very happy, 70% of highly committed church people say they are happy. 5. The National Institute of Health has now developed 5 protective factors that help fight coronary disease. The leading one is weekly church attendance. 6. Teen suicide, the number 2 killer of teens, is substantially less frequent among teens that attend church. 7. A Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance survey of "The Values of the American People" in the 1980's reflected that the single most important variable in health promotion lifestyles was religious affiliation.
