The Impact of Physical Activity on Overall Health and Quality of Life in Older adults

The Holy Scriptures mentions personified diseases. References to diseases are very numerous and are found in books of a wide variety of contents. We can find mention of diseases in historical narratives, in edifying reflections, in teachings, and in psalms, as well as in discussions of issues related to ritual purity and temple cult. The Old Testament mentions dozens of different diseases: infertility, pestilence, consumption, fever, fever, inflammation, leprosy, scabs, scabies, insanity, blindness, heart attack, etc. In the New Testament, the topic of illness and healing occupies a very prominent place. Most of the stories about the miracles of the Savior convey cases of miraculous healing: the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law, the centurion’s servant, a bent woman, a bleeding woman, a man born blind, ten lepers and many others (of the 36 miracles mentioned in the Gospels, 26, i.e. more than two-thirds - these are cases associated with healing). Having fallen through the sin of disobedience from the divine power that sanctifies and replenishes nature, man dooms himself to illness and suffering: “in illness you will give birth to children” (Genesis 3:16), God addresses Eve. Diseases are associated with sin, suffering and death. Jesus Christ healed not only all kinds of diseases, but also all kinds of infirmities (Matthew 4:23).
