An in-depth examination of religious practices around the world and
the fascinating science behind how they make us healthier. Many
religious and spiritual beliefs promote wellness through their
practices or stated objectives—for example, focusing on simple
living, having compassion for others, vegetarianism, or meditation
and mindfulness. This refreshing work provides a review of the
world's spiritual perspectives and traditions, and explores how
their guiding principles encourage healthy lifestyle choices. An
examination of religious and nonreligious perspectives from around
the world—from atheism, Confucianism, and Christianity to Islam,
Judaism, Shamanism, and Zoroastrianism—reveals how faith beliefs
and values influence behavior and inspire healthy living. With
contributions from leading international scholars, the chapters
include a discussion of Eastern and Western world religions and
their practices—such as fasting or the avoidance of alcohol and
tobacco—and how they may foster healthfulness. A contemporary
analysis of current research findings suggests possible
interventions that individuals and health providers may utilize to
enhance healthfulness. A final chapter explores the connection
between health, illness, and religious and nonreligious
perspectives.
