Want to live longer? Go to church or believe in other faith??

[theking]

I've seen a few studies already and they said that people of faith tend to live longer so if you want to live longer, start believing?? 

Study shows that religious people live longer

According to the Daily Mail, a study undertaken by researchers from Ohio State University in the US concluded that religious people live on average four years longer than atheists or non religious. The results of their study were published in the Social Psychological and Personality Science Journal.

The group of psychology researchers came to this conclusion after studying the obituaries of over 1,000 people.

This included 505 recorded n the Des Moines Register in Iowa in January and February 2012. The study led by doctoral student Laura Wallace concluded that church goers outlived non-religious people by 9.45 years. However, once they factored out other elements that can contribute to longer life including marriage and gender, that difference shrunk to 6.48 years.

A second study of 1,096 obituaries published in 42 cites between August 2010 and August 2011 showed religious people lived an average of 5.64 years longer than those who weren’t. Once gender and marital status were factored out that difference dropped to 3.82 years.

Having a faith leads to hope and hope is a good thing.  Without hope, you give up and we know what happens when people give up on things/life.

Also have less kids, stay away from negative people, don't consume a lot or very little just enough to help you get through. Stop stressing, people who stress too much about life often see themselves getting troubled and may eventually lead them to suicide.

When I'm down and depressed I usually pray to help me through the time. It gives me a sense of hope that tomorrow will be a better day.

a person doesn't need faith to have hope. ignorance is bliss, that's why people live longer cause they don't know what the world is like and live in their bubble, that's religion.
