Holiness is still right! And it has many benefits—not just for eternity, but in this lifetime as well. 🙌🏾

A fascinating study from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health suggests that #faithbased practices could be a key to longevity. 💯

The research, led by Professor Tyler VanderWeele, tracked more than 74,000 women over a span of 16 years and found a remarkable trend—those who attended #religious services at least once a week had a 33% lower chance of premature death compared to those who did not.

What makes the difference? Engaging in prayer, singing, and communal #worship can stimulate the release of endorphins and oxytocin—natural hormones that promote happiness, reduce stress, and lower inflammation.

Additionally, deep spiritual disciplines such as meditation and #prayer activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This benefits physical and emotional well-being by improving the heart rate and decreasing cortisol levels.

The bottom line: Worship isn’t just an act of devotion—it’s a pathway to a longer, healthier life. 

Isn’t this a blessing? ✨ #blackchristianinfluencers
