Research Suggest Faith Lowers Stress
By Ron Csillag
TORONTO (RNS) Canadian researchers have found that strong religious convictions can lower stress and enhance the performance of basic tasks.
A team in Toronto put 28 students through tests measuring both levels of religious observance and stress caused by making mistakes on a test.
The newly published study by professors at the University of Toronto and York University points to religious believers out-performing non-believers on cognitive tasks.
“The more religious they were, the less brain activity they showed in response to their own errors,” said University of Toronto assistant psychology professor Michael Inzlicht, lead author of the study. “They are calmer when they make errors.”
Cutting Back On Sugar
CBNNews.com – Americans swallow about 22 teaspoons of sugar each day.
The majority of the excess sugar comes from drinking soft drinks. Eating candy, cakes and cookies doesn’t help either. Now in a newly released scientific statement, the American Heart Association says it is time to cut way back. “Take a good hard look at your diet,” said Rachel K. Johnson, the statement’s lead author and a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
“Figure out where the sources of added sugars are and think about how to cut back on that.”
Women should have no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day. It is the equivalent of about 100 calories. And men should consume no more than nine teaspoons – or 150 calories. However, the guidelines don’t apply to naturally occurring sugars such as those found in fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
The 7 Promises of Jubilee
By Benny Hinn
When the children of Israel cried out, God not only delivered them from bondage in Egypt, but He also established a system that would continue to provide deliverance again and again every fifty years by declaring a Jubilee in the land.
With the Jubilee, each generation could be delivered, and with that deliverance came seven amazing promises that should be very significant to believers today:
1. Liberty
“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family” (Leviticus 25:10). Bondage is a cruel master. Bondage is not of God. Today, too many people are in financial bondage. When you borrow money, you are in bondage to the lender. God is getting ready to set the captives free supernaturally. Liberty is coming!
