Final Thoughts...
Here we have it, going to church is good for you! According to research, we live longer on earth.
Now experts have pointed to evidence that going to church could also actively help people live longer in the here and now.
Epidemiologists analysed data charting the lives of more than 74,000 women over a 16-year period and found that the most regular churchgoers were 33 per less likely to die during that time than those who never attended services.
But even those who went to church sporadically appeared to have significantly better survival rates than those who never did so. Read the full article on the telegraph.co.uk website.
