Fresh off my birthday (the big 33)... This blog will be about Faith and ways faith can actually improve your health. Studies show that spirituality is a profound predictor of health. Here are five ways that faith is good for your healthy lifestyle.
1. Faith Encourages Healthy Behavior
The fundamentals of believing in a power greater than ourselves is essentially faith and our recovery through life‘s many hardships. Those who profess in a religion or live their life practicing the lessons faith teaches tend to live a more healthier lifestyle. Faith teaches us that we our not in this world alone, to love one another as we love ourselves, to be kind, humble, respectful, honest, do good deeds and make the right choices—all of these lend in a higher quality of life.
2. Faith Reduces Stress
Faith gives people a sense of meaning and purpose in life, which can directly connect to better health. Studies show that faith and prayer, can reduce high blood pressure that is due to stress. Spirituality can help to balance out the stress we encounter in our every day lives by enhancing the body’s ability to relax and process.
3. Community Improves Emotional Health and Well-Being
There’s no doubt that being apart of your community or local church through fellowship can greatly enhance life satisfaction and happiness because we our getting involved in a cause surrounded by other people all working together for a greater good—and that can be very powerful!
4. Helping Others Improves Life Satisfaction
Those who are generally more faith driven tend to want to help others because they’re apart of a bigger “faith community.” Did you ever help someone and felt really good afterwards? Thats just a glimpse at how faith can improve your life satisfaction.
5. Miraculous Things Can Happen
Do you believe in miracles? There’s no doubt that unexplained phenomenona happens in life and it takes faith to make sense of it all. Whatever your stance on religion may be, there’s no harm in having a little faith.
So I invite you to take a leap of faith on something in your life. Have faith in yourself, what you stand for and what you offer the world. Push the envelope on your limitations, find your true potential and strive to achieve that healthier body, mind and soul through faith—and faith alone!
