Accoreding to statistics compiled by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, religious belief and well-being are positively correlated. More than 775,000 people were interviewed and 42% who claimed to be "very religious"--defined as high church attendance and high importance of faith in their daily lives--reported a higher overall well-being than the general population but also were more likely not to smoke and more likely to exercise regularly. These findings dovetail with extensive research published by psychologist , Dr, Norman Anderson, in his book "Emotional Longevity." Dr. Anderson describes how good relationships are a buffer against everything from heart disease to the common cold and that religious obsevance often goes hand in hand with longevity. He also demonstrates that far more than genetics, diet, or exercise alone, real health and longevity also includes a person's friendships and beliefs of which many are dependent on religous upbringing and religious obsevance that ultimately help the individual find meaning in life. |
