Religion’s Affect on Health What weekly appointment can lead to better health for you? This is your speaker for Taking Charge of Your Health. Religion’s effect on your health has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. Information gathered from 125,000 people who participated in a total of 40 of those studies showed that people who regularly attend church and other religious activities had almost a 30% lower death rate than those who rarely or never participated in a religious service. Researchers noted two factors that could explain why attending church weekly seems to provide a health boost: Frequent attendance at services naturally provides stronger social support and friendship networks and people who are actively religious tend to take better care of themselves physically.Produced by Dr Elmar Sakala and Dr Percy Harrold.
