According to an article in the BBC:

Weekly religious attendance could add years to your life, according to a medical study carried out in the US.

The effects of exercise, religious attendance and anti-cholesterol drugs on life expectancy were examined.

All three were found to be beneficial, with religious attendance adding two to three years to your life.

No mention was made of the benefits of playing on the church softball team while on anti-cholesterol drugs but I think we can assume that would be a good thing.
