“I am the bread of life...so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.” John 6:48, 57, NKJV

services are 46 percent less likely to have life-threatening illnesses than
those who
attend less often. - Get moving for a healthier heart. Thirty minutes a day is enough to add three years to your life.

- Keep in close contact with friends and family. It’s proven to increase your odds of living to an old age by 22 percent.
