Spiritual, Physical, and Healthy Living
In recent years researchers have started looking at the effect of belief systems on
human health. Although there are many factors involved, numerous studies have found
a positive connection between depth of
spiritual belief and good health.
- Studies have found that people who have a spiritual belief and for whom spirituality
is of major importance in their lives have lower blood pressure than those who whom spirituality
is of less importance.
- People who are spiritual are less likely than their less spiritual counterparts
to have had a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
- Spiritual beliefs and practice can predict improved physical functioning, enhanced
adherence to medical regimens, higher self-esteem, and diminished anxiety and health
worries for people who have had invasive surgery.
- Lower cancer mortality rates have been found in those counties in the United States
that have relatively high levels of spirituality. Certain religious faiths, such as
Mormons or Seventh-day Adventists, also have markedly lower rates of heart disease
and all-cause mortality.
- Studies show that people who are spiritual perceive their health to be better than
people who report no spiritual awareness, and the former tend to use fewer health
care resources and spend fewer days in the hospital than other groups.
- Greater frequency of religious/spiritual worship and practices are related to a
decrease in disability as well as a decrease in the perception of disability among
elderly living in nursing homes.
- Caregivers of patients with serious illnesses like Alzheimer's Disease who use
spiritual practices as a means of coping report greater wellbeing and decreased stress
than those caregivers who are not spiritual.
- Spiritually focused interventions, such as meditation, have been associated with
lower mortality from coronary artery disease as well as reduced risk of both fatal and
non-fatal repeat heart attacks, and increased longevity for breast cancer patients.
