Church can Make you Healthy

February 13th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Looking for a healthy edge? You may find it in the Church. According to American Health, “Godlessness may be harmful to your health.” This claim was based on a recent study from Purdue University which involved 1,473 Americans similar in age, income, and education. Kenneth Ferraro, an associate professor of sociology, compared those who regularly participate in religious activities with those who don’t. He found that those who don’t regularly participate in religious activities were twice as likely to report health problems. Ferraro said, “We found that religion was almost as great an influence on health as age and social class.”
