Connection between healthy living and spirituality?
According to a Time magazine survey, it appeared that most people who are spiritually attracted or subscribe to a religion are much more more pleased and live a healthier lifestyle.
Even the Bible says: ”…to keep nonparticipation from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Excellent health to you!” Paulus, Acts 15:29.
Now for the demographic examples: Californians are obsessed with living longer, and they’ve done extensive studies on longevity, and one of the groups of people that was found (world-wide study) to live a long and healthy life was SDAs who live in California. They do not drink alcohol or smoke…since it is forbidden in their religion.
Another area of the world is on some island of Italy. Very long-lived people who do drink wine, but this probably is not a religion 
In China/Japan, but, a positive pleased attitude is the key, combined with rumination. Some even combine it with energy healing techniques like Reiki but I reckon this is for those who really want to dive into this. But, research shows that the populace there is more healthy and is living longer compared to the western civilization. Allthough, this is changing already as more and more people go from the country to the cities and try to adapt the lifestyle of counrties like the U.S.

I believe there is and its working for me.
For most of the last 1,000 years or so it has been very healthy to be a Christian
Everyone else kind of tended to die a lot.
i say yes.the bible tells you of things to eat.and things to avoid.excellent luck.
There is a connection between sanity and healthy living. Mental health is essential to be healthy. So being religious and following a certain religion doesn’t pertain a excellent mental health but superstition.
Yes. The food laws in Leviticus chapter 11 were written by the God Yahweh for all humans to follow to help live the longest healthiest life while on Earth. The clean creatures we are allowed to eat are to maintain proper health and nutrition in the human body and not eating the unclean creatures listed will help prevent unnecessary diseases from forming in the human body. People who reckon these laws of the God Yahweh are obsolete and no longer apply in today’s modern world or that Jesus abolished us from following this diet are mistaken.
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, he offers us a special hope, peace, and comfort, that we cannot clarify. This will most beyond doubt lead to healthier living. Vain religion will not fulfill you, but the like of Jesus will. Please watch my video on what exactly it means to accept Jesus:

I reckon, nothing can be said specifically about it.
