Many people say they feel better when they go to services.
Research is now showing that many people are better when they go to services. Healthwise, that is. New research at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, shows that older people who regularly attend religious services appear to have healthier immune systems than those who do not. This means that the attendees appeared to have more active immune systems, thereby keeping inflammation at bay. The people studied were 1,718 adults over the age of 65, mostly Christian, who live in North Carolina.
