RELIGIOUS PEOPLE LIVE LONGER AND DON'T DIE AS OFTEN BY HORRIBLE DISEASES--STATISTICS DON'T LIE

jewish people were found to be at higher risk of myocardial infractions than Gentiles.







The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) was found greater among jewish people than Catholics.

Ashkenazi jewish people have a lifetime CRC (cancer) risk of 9–15%. This elevated CRC risk is similar to that of individuals in the “familial risk” category, and differs strikingly from the 5-6% CRC risk for non-Ashkenazi members of general Western populations.







Ashkenazi jewish people may have one of the highest lifetime CRC risks of any ethnic group in the world, a risk that diverges significantly from that of the general population.

In general, for American jewish people, show excesses in mortality, noted for both sexes, are esophagus, stomach, colon, pancreas, lymphomas, and leukemia and, in females, the lung and the ovary from the general population.

The Torah speaks of “reward and punishment” on a number of occasions. The blessings and curses are strikingly comprehensive, they leave no aspect of human life and experience unaddressed. Physical health and sustenance, emotional well-being and stability, spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment and every other possible blessing that inspires our earthly existence with worth and meaning, are all presented as the natural outcome of serving God in sincerity. And sickness and poverty, anxiety and fear, alienation and depression and all of the other myriad demons that haunt humanity and crush it with their oppressiveness, are even more prominently highlighted as the inevitable consequences of abandoning God and abrogating His commands.



Here’s an interesting statistic. Bnei Brak,

Israel’s most religious city, also has the

highest average life expectancy: 81.1 years

for women and 77.4 years for men.



What makes that finding even more curious is that Bnei Brak also happens to be Israel’s poorest city, thus confounding the normal correlation between poverty and poor health.







Certainly heightened health consciousness cannot explain the longevity of Bnei Brak residents. Many men still smoke, and a quick glance around the city is sufficient to establish that news of the benefits of exercise and a low-fat diet has not yet reached most of Bnei Brak’s inhabitants.







A growing body of scientific evidence suggests the key to the longevity of Bnei Brak residents may well be their religiosity. Fully three-quarters of the 300 studies to date of the relationship between religious belief and health demonstrate a positive correlation. Various studies have shown that religious belief and regular attendance at religious services are associated with reduced doctors visits, a lower incidence of certain forms of cancer and heart disease, and decreased post-operative mortality and quicker rates of recovery.
