It is an idea that has been kicked around in
medical circles for years. Can participation in faith-based services add to a
person’s health and quality of life? Well, according to a new report from
Harvard, it seems to help. We’re not talking about a specific religion. It
seems they are interchangeable when it comes to health. The researchers looked
at 1,174 highly functioning men and women in their seventies. Those who went to
a church, synagogue, or a mosque at least once a week did better. They had
better lung function than those who didn’t. Why lung function? People
experience a steady decline in lung function as they age.
