Do you believe that having a good and healthy spiritual life will affects your physical health condition, thus makes you more healthy? Scientific data confirms that Christians are healthier than general population because of their belief that even though they make mistakes and hurt others, even though they fail because of their weakness still God loves them. A feeling of being love, accepted and secured through their faith in God makes them healthy.

Yes! spiritual life affects our physical health. Like in the case of my mother in law, many people are shocked when they found out that she is already 71 years old. Most of them (including me) thought that she's younger that her age. Her face looks young, healthy and strong able to manage the household chores. She answered those people by saying, that's how a child of God is, inspite of many problems and trials, I give them all to God, instead of worrying...I pray to God and trust Him for the answer.

Wow, your mother in-law is a good example of a person who's living a life with faith. She's right, if we give all our problems,cares and worries to God we will live a happy life, not everyone can do that, it takes humility and love to give our self to God. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

A good spiritual life always keeps a person healthy because of the calmness maintained in the mind. Spirituality teaches the person to forget and forgive and also to tune the mind towards peace. When the mind is peaceful there is less room for stress and strain which in turn keeps oneself in good health like the saying - A healthy mind in a healthy body.

Yes, I think when your spiritual life is good, always is refreshed, and you are happy from within your soul, your body will be healthy as well. Your spiritual well being will reflect in your physical attributes and you will certainly be as healthy as ever.
