Grounding religious values and worship practices in realizing a healthy lifestyle for ugamo malim adherents

Abstrak

Environmental and health problems are always a frightening threat because they are related to the level of health in society. Health problems and healthy lifestyles in much literature are analyzed from a medical and economic perspective (social class). Contributions from these two perspectives have contributed greatly to solving health problems. However, there is one core problem that is difficult to resolve due to conditions of economic vulnerability and unawareness of health problems. This certainly encourages health problems to be inclusive so that they reach people from the lower levels. This research provides new information regarding the dimensions of religion as the most effective tool and is owned by all levels of society. Sensitivity and adherence to religion are able to encourage people (Ugamo malim) to adopt a healthy lifestyle. In Ugamo Malim all worship practices and pelean (offerings) are required to be clean and halal. The application of these values and practices is ultimately able to make Ugamo Malim adherents aware of a healthy lifestyle.
