“Our findings suggest that spirituality may be protective of physical health.”
Carissa Low
“We found that faith and spirituality were the key factors. The women with a strong sense of faith had significantly more variable heart rates than those who reported less spiritual well-being. In addition, the coping style most strongly associated with heart-rate variability was religious coping ? the use of prayer or meditation to cope with stress and find comfort.”
“These findings are consistent with an emerging literature on the beneficial impact of faith and spirituality on health.”
