Religion and Health


 According to a recent survey, religion may play a part in your health. On average, when a person was told to evaluate themselves on their mental, physical and overall health, people who identified as very religious often ranked themselves higher on this health scale. There isn’t really a precise reason why, but it may be because religious people have a defined state of being and that importance in life makes them an overall happy and healthy person. Church attendance leads to more personal interactions with people and thus builds strong friendship. Religion involves meditation toward a higher power and this in turn has been proven to lower stress, reduce depression and promote a happy life.
