Live Longer by Going to Church

A new study out suggests that you can add years to your life by attending regular church services:
There are many things you can do to increase your life expectancy: exercise, eat well, take your medication ... and go to church.

A new study finds people who attend religious services weekly live longer. Specifically, the research looked at how many years are added to life expectancy based on:

Regular physical exercise: 3.0 to 5.1 years

Proven therapeutic regimens: 2.1 to 3.7 years

Regular religious attendance: 1.8 to 3.1 years

Of course, it could also be that boring sermons just make your life seem longer.
