First Blog Assignment

My inquiry question is about spiritual health. I wanted to find out how being spiritually healthy affects a person's life span. I've decided to explore this question because it's something that I've wondered about from time to time. The thing that interests me about this topic is that I've seen stories and read articles about people who have lived longer because they have a strong faith. I think people would care about this topic because it's something that can truly affect your life style. I expect to find many cases that show the difference between people who live longer because of their faith then those who don't believe in God or any other higher being. I also want to see the difference of spirituality between certain countries and ethinicities. I've read several opinions and I've seen both sides of the question. I believe that having a strong faith and belief will allow you to have a longer happier life. People who are spiritually healthy are more confident in life and will prosper in things they never could imagine.
