In 1997 the journal of the American Heart Association reported on some remarkable research.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Susan Everson of the Human Population Laboratory of the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, California, found that people who experienced high levels of despair had a 20 percent greater occurrence of atherosclerosis—the narrowing of their arteries—than did optimistic people.
“This is the same magnitude of increased risk that one sees in comparing a pack-a-day smoker to a non-smoker,” said Everson.
In other words, despair can be as bad for you as smoking a pack a day!
That is just one more reason why God calls us to choose hope and faith.
The Christian life contributes to good health, for God gives us a legitimate basis for hope.
