High blood pressure drops when you go to church every week

If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), don’t bother with drugs – just go to your local church regularly.
People who go to church most Sundays have much lower blood pressure readings than those who rarely, or never, attend.
Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology say they were “really surprised” by their findings. Their discovery is based on the study of the lives and habits of 120,000 residents from one county in Norway.
In previous studies, the researchers discovered that having a sense of humour and being socially engaged also had a positive impact on health.
